Update: That 'pro' barber cape I bought online for $75 is a total joke.
Saw an ad for a heavy duty cape with 'industrial snaps' and a neck strip pocket. Figured it was a good upgrade for my chair. The snaps popped off the first time a client moved their head, and the fabric feels like a cheap plastic tablecloth. I'm out the money and had to go back to my old cape mid-day. Has anyone found a cape that actually holds up without costing a fortune?

Hey @thomas587, you're right and it's because the good stuff gets buried! The search and social media ads are all pushing the same mass-produced things to everyone. You gotta dig way deeper into forums or small shops to find quality now.

Check the supplier's actual reputation, not just the ad. That "pro" label is just marketing if they're selling generic dropshipped gear. I had luck searching for barber supply companies that sell to actual shops, not just online resellers.
