All little boys want to be super heroes when they grow up. Whether that hero is a comic book character like Superman or a real life hero like your local fire fighters. The power to protect and save seems to be instinctual. My kids are very entertained by comic book characters and that is mostly because my husband and I are total geeks. We have a DC Comics and Marvel Comics Encyclopedia on our coffee table. So from a very young age Jason and Spencer wanted to be caped crusaders. When I saw the capes on PowerCapes.com I had to have one…or two.
There are a lot of cape companies on the web right now and I have not explored them all, but I have explored a few. PowerCapes.com is the cream of the crop. Not only is their customer service phenomenal but their capes are a high quality fabric. My sons chose the Personalized Custom Cape with Emblem and Initial. Jason chose a blue cape with a red emblem and Spencer chose a red cape with a blue emblem. The capes are made from premium satin and each one has a serged edge, which can make all the difference.
On PowerCapes.com you get to choose between 11 colors for the cape, 7 emblem shapes, and nearly 40 initial color choices. That is a wide variety but this way you can be sure to pick the most unique cape possible for your child. You also get to choose from 3 sizes. The smallest is “side kick”, next up is “Hero” and after that is “SuperHero”. The capes all come with a velcro closure ensuring your childs safety at all times. This was my only gripe. The Velcro needs to be adjustable or something because it was far too large for Jason and Spencer’s necks.
My boys have their PowerCapes.com Super Hero Capes hanging from their bedroom doors. This is how often they use the capes. Right now if you would like to buy a cape, even stock up for children at the Holidays, they are on sale for $19.99. Usually they are $39.99 and worth every penny! So this is a HUGE steal!
Visit http://www.powercapes.com and check out all they have to offer. Not just capes, but all types of super hero costume pieces! Right now one lucky reader could win a Power Cape with Initial!

I like the superman themed cape for my son(initial A) but he has a batman cape that he does NOT share with his sister so I think a cute pink cape with a flower with her S initial would be cute. Then I’ll have 2 superheroes jumping off the couches lol
Thanks for the chance!
