Hi fellow Fett heads,

I'm having a great found parts month:) first i find a real Glenross dental expansion part and now a SuperTrooper Cape. This was a late night eBay find i picked up when my baby couldn't sleep, thanks Mia-Fett:)
OK...Is it real? is it not? Help me out Peeps.
Condition: i would give it a 6 at best, its a bit worn. it dose have nice color and there's a tag on it that looks to have a "78" on it, maybe.

Here's the pics let me know what yalls think. Thank you

(=Syper=)

good score on the towel.Been after one myself for a long time,but alas I can never found one.

why would you think its not the real deal? lot of work to fake for what it is. I did have word on the grapevine of someone doing a run of them as a replica,but its not happened yet. plus these would be brand new and not show any of the age yours has.

great find ;)

No... it isn't the right one. I have seen the right one and it did have a fringe.... unfortunately it was folded and I wasn't sure it was right so I passed on it.. Wish I had snagged it now. This one will be a place holder until another real one comes up."

I was able to find a better pic of the tag. what I thought was a "78" was nothing more that a zip\post code.

this tag looks just like mine if it were new.

The towel I have is vintage, 56" x "31" its big, one side is fringed from use. I could easily create the same look on the other side. I believe the fringed look was added to the SuperTrooper Fett cape to look more rustic and to give it more of a Eastwood poncho appearance.
