I know colors are hard through iPhone images...I believe the cape on the left
is reddish-brown and the one on the right is dark brown? They both seem to have
slightly different shades on the inside vs. outside. Each picture is me flipping
them from one side to the other. The last pic is the front side of the dark brown
(right cape) vs. the back side of the reddish brown (left cape). Anyone agree
with my assessment?

The lot of minifigs I purchased came with a Boromir but what I believe is the
dark brown cape was assembled onto an Obi-wan so it's throwing me off! I
had a Boromir previously but I don't remember if it was slightly lighter/darker
depending on which side you looked at.

What is the length of the capes? I'm more inclined to say RB and Brown,
not dark brown.

comes in both color and has a much larger array of figs for the reddish
brown, but only 1 for Dark brown. Regular brown is tied to some older SW figs
here as well.
