Still working on mine.
You could begin by cutting a hole in the inside fabric and then cutting away as much of it as you can up to the edges. The tricky part is deciding what to do at the seams...
BTW, you will need a sharp scissors.

Danggg that's beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the Elvis cape mod?
...........................
Here's some more pics.
All in all I think it lays better and require almost zero futzing.
So once again I removed completely the inner lining and the wire.
Only complaint is that the inside of the cape is grey but I can live with that.
I don't think I did it exactly the same as he did, but it's basically the same...
Braggart!
OK, still, looks very nice. I don't think I'll ever get that in "two minutes of futzing" but one can hope....
You'd be surprised. Without the wire it hangs very naturally.
Good lord, 12000 posts!
Really, the wire in the bottom of the cape is the culprit?
I was entertaining the idea of slipping pennies thru the slit where the poles go and dropping a penny in each point of the scallop to see if the weight would help.
What do you think of that plan?

Well, that and having two layers of fabric.
That's why i thought the pennies or some small weight would help solve the issue with the drape. You get eight pennies in that cape and that's a pretty good pull on the material.
Something square would fit better. Pennies might give the scallop an odd shape over time.

It may just be me, but don't you think that with this mod, the upper scallops of the cowl piece (that drape over the shoulders and lead down to the emblem) end up standing a little proud?
Like it shows a little that the whole cowl/mask piece was designed to sit on top of all those layers, and that you get a slight gap without them?

Looks great Mag
gold would be heavier to way it down
when i pick up a spare cape , i'm going to put lead in the bottom
like roofing lead for chimmneys (very heavy)

Maybe, but if so, that's an easy fix. I've heated up the cowl before to get it to lay flater, and I could do that again. If that didn't work (and I'm sure it will) one could build up the shoulders with a fabric collar of some kind.
Good call. I think anything that has some weight to it; even a fishing weight that's small enough could work.
i definitely think that's the solution. I'd personally rather leave the wire in so I can shape the drape and curls at the bottom... but at the end of the day I'd really like to have the cape just hang like a regular cap and be done with it.
