So I have proof that in Vader from 75294 has 522 cape and from 75296 has 522c
cape
P.S.
But do we really want to complicate differentiation od Star Wars minifigures.
I propose maybe do the same as with heads just add a note that this minfigure
can be with 522 or 522c cape. I wish good look to all sellers tring to measure
those capes anf find 1mm od difference

Thanks. (Again: Did you measure the cape in 75294 or did you just go by the sleeve
number and inventory?)

In regards to these capes I don't care too much about store inventories.
But I would like to have correct catalog inventories.
And I think the difference is big enough to justify separate minifigures if necessary.

This is the best suggestion. The minifigures should not be made into separate
entries.

On the subject of capes I don't know how many variations there are but can
I suggest that we add the word 'Rigid' to all those capes that hold their
form when lightly pinched at one end and then add the word 'Soft' to
all those capes that flop down under the same test
This would at least give people a rough idea of the style of cape with just a
quick glance

The correct terms to describe these fabrics would be Woven and Knit. (basically
the difference between a dress shirt and a T-shirt) However, not everyone understands
fabric construction.
As we already use Starched and Spongy, I just don't think adding even more
subjective terms would be very helpful.

Well isn't 'Starched' just a further fabric construction that most
people don't understand? I certainly did'nt until I just keyed it into
google. At least everyone will understand the basic principal of a firm, stiff
or rigid cape compared to one that is not hence my suggestion to include it

Well, maybe my age is showing but I would think Starched is a very common term?
Also, as these capes age, they lose the rigidity and that could create some confusion
with the term. Of course, it's the starch wearing off that causes this. So,
now we are back to Woven and Knit.
I could create a simple image to add to the additional images that could cleary
show the differences in fabric type for lay people.
Where is John P when you need him in this conversation??
Probably putting capes on Barbies to make them super.

"stiff" or "rigid" is certainly better than "starched" in my opinion - and may
be more accurate as well. Starching is something that is done to fabric to make
it stiff. Is Lego actually starching fabric or are they just using fabrics that
are more or less stiff to begin with?

The starched capes lose their stiffness over time during play. So, yes, I believe
it is a starched fabric.

It would be really helpful if they would stop making the starched ones and we
could all walk together into a bright future where capes are not immediately
ruined on first use.

I am with you! Knit fabric is also less likely to fray.
I think my previous life as a sewing, knitting, crafting, non-LEGO person is
starting to show through.
