Differences between Standard and Deluxe Cloaks

There's a significant price difference between the Standard Cloaks and my Deluxe Cloaks. This is because of construction time and material cost. 

Here's a diagram of how I lay out the patterns on the fabric, that best illustrates the differences between the two:

and here's the differences laid out in another visual way:

Basically, the Deluxe is a bunch of triangles stitched together to form the cone, making it possible to add length and shoulder seams which fit the shoulders in a more tailored way.
While the Standard is cut from a half circle, which wraps around to become a cone. It's tighter on the shoulders, but is seamless and [because it's half a circle] has excellent twirl capabilities. The "nap" of fabric will be going in opposite directions from one front panel to the other, again just because it's a horizontal flat strip wrapped around a 3D body. 

Both have the same hood design, as well as arm slits and pockets, although there's not enough negative space leftover for the Standard to have the option of the hidden interior pockets, as they're much bigger.
