Hello all,I bought a couple of capes on here,when I recieved them they said they where tanned in 2002 they came froze, and I put them right in the frezzer right off.Now my question is should these capes still be good,and will I have to do anything to them before I use them for mounting?
                                                                 Thank you very much for any info you may have,

All you can do is thaw them out, but they should be fine
