Too much fumbling
I really wanted to like this cape. Because it was cool. Magnetic closure, cool sliding neckline..I mean- that's COOL!<br />But I don't.  It is hard to use. I've had it a couple weeks now and I am still struggling with it. If you use metal blades which I do, they will &#34;catch&#34; against the magnets when you are cutting near them. So will your shears. Also the left knee does not cover. It is short on the left side and long on the right so you have to pull it over the left knee from the right. I'm a busy barber and putting a cape on has always been a quick painless flip and snap procedure. Now with this cape I'm finding myself fumbling too much and walking around to cover left kneee of customer; having to hold left hand over magnet so blade doesn't catch it, it's just a real pain. The only reason I didn't give it one star is because it looks good. It doesn't look cheap. It looks cool.<br />UPDATE: Nov 2017. I have gotten used to the cape and I do like it. It is only awkward at first but once you get used to it it isn't a problem. I do recommend this cape. It is made well and after all this time, still has no rips or tears or worn spots. Not even one thread out of place. And still looks really good.
