"If you can read this, lay off the weed"
It just may not mean anything at all, just something to look at...

Please people, if you dont actually know what it is then dont make mis-information replies.

Only if you have some familiarity with asiatic languages...
I have none, thought it most likely Korean, had no clue then, still dont now, but Ill take your word that its not Korean.

Okay, quick and dirty east-Asian writing system lesson!

Chinese is pretty cryptic:

Japanese has often similar cryptic letters (kanji letters, which are derived from Chinese hanzi letters, they often have the same meaning, but sometimes.. they don't) The giveaway is the much more simplistic katakana and hiragana letters:

Korean thenagain, looks entirely different. Their writing system favors round shapes much more, making it easy to identify:

:b

vvv- That's what I thought, the spacing between the letters was odd and the letter design overall looked bit off.

Well, glad to clear that up. It's still a nice-looking cape, though.

Well, sometimes people just get mixed up with languages and assume that they're right.

You can't get this on a cape it was photoshoped or done with paint.
