Anyone who lashes out big cash for a JC cape they haven't handled in person has more money than sense.

IMHO, of course

If you enlarge the photo it is not a good looking cape! to many splits on it!
I would not be keen to buy from a seller in Estonia my opinion of course!

Plenty mate! Don't do it! It's a £20 cape at best. Nowt wrong with a few splits for trout fly work, but who's to say you'll get that exact cape?

Always best to see and handle the gear when buying any capes, let alone a JC.

I've had stuff from this seller in Estonia before now, JC cape, Lagartun oval etc. It was top drawer stuff, JC was as pictured and the Lagartun was at a very good price at the time.
