I've purchased from this website before and been very happy, but this is the first item I've purchased here that hasn't lived up to expectations. The stitching is done in a bright blue thread, which is okay except that it very obviously overshot the mark, making the stitch lines look crooked and amateurish. The cape is a cut felt, with unfinished edges, adding to the amateurish appearance. It's a joke gift, so I'm still going to use it, but - having made my own sad attempts at sewing before - I expect better stitching than I can do in products I purchase. Better luck next time!
