Default Looking for Scarlet.

I am looking for a cheap and cheerful scarlet cock cape. I don't need great hackle quality for my purposes, but the shade is important to me. It needs to be a true scarlet, just the red side of fire orange. globrite number 4 is probably the best way of describing it.

Any recommendations gratefully received?

Lightbulb A Scarlet Rose

Rose red??

I'm sure the correct shade of scarlet can be found in the tribute to Mary Orvis Marbury, daughter of Charles F Orvis.

$20 should buy you the best dyed saltwater cape, there's also a second quality for a few dollars less.

Is the one on the left the shade that sir had in mind?

Frankly, I don't give a damn about Scarlet.

I'm on the lookout for a cheap cheerful crimson coloured cock cape
