Campbell’s Cape Clip
The Campbell’s Cape Clip (manufactured by Morris Flamingo) is a simple, time-tested utility accessory designed to solve a common irritation behind the chair: standard barber capes slipping, loosening, or gaping at the neck during a haircut.
Instead of relying solely on built-in snaps or Velcro, this tool provides a heavy-duty, mechanical grip to keep the drape perfectly secure.
Key Features & Design
Double-Climber Structure: The tool consists of two heavy-duty alligator-style clips connected by a short, durable bridge (typically a thick, flexible rubber strap or a short metal chain, depending on the exact generation/model).
Universal Adaptability: It is designed to work with any brand or style of cape. If a premium cape’s Velcro has worn down from too many trips through the laundry, or if a snap setting doesn't quite fit a client's specific neck size, the clip bypasses the built-in closures entirely.
Compact Footprint: Lightweight and small enough to comfortably sit at the back of the client's neck without adding bulk, digging into the skin, or interfering with your clippers and shears when working on a low fade or neckline clean-up.
Material & Grip Performance
Spring-Loaded Tension: Equipped with high-tension metal springs that deliver a firm, non-slip hold. It can clamp through multiple layers of heavy-duty fabric, slick nylon, or thick plastic disposable capes without slipping.
Protective Teeth: The jaws of the clips are specifically designed to maximize grip strength without snagging, tearing, or puncturing the technical fabrics of expensive capes.
Primary Shop Workflows
Custom Neck Sizing: It allows you to pull a cape as snug as necessary on exceptionally small necks (like children) or gather excess fabric neatly on larger clients, creating a custom, hair-tight seal every time.
Securing Neck Strips: Many barbers use it to firmly lock the overlapping ends of a paper neck strip and the cape together in one single, stable hold.
Saving Old Inventory: It breathes new life into older shop capes that are still in great structural shape but have lost their gripping power due to worn-out Velcro or broken snaps.
Care & Maintenance
Sanitation: Because it rests near the client's hairline, the all-metal or metal-and-rubber construction is designed to be completely chemical-resistant. It can be sprayed down with Barbicide or sanitizing wipes between client rotations without rusting or degrading.
