You WILL wear the Valkyrie cape?

I've got the Mac Pack, and I just went to the tailor and checked... all the cape options are there for me, for both regular capes and shoulder capes. Not sure what's going on with what you're seeing.

I recently picked up the mac pack, and now whenever I take a character with access to capes (or wearing a cape) to the tailor, it automatically changes that cape to Valkyrie, with no other options. No matter what kind of cape I pick (full mantle, half mantle, etc) Valkyrie is my only choice. On my veteran shoulder cape, all the secondary options are there.
Known issue?

Have you done the missions to unlock the regular capes? If you haven't, then the only options are the ones already unlocked; that being the single should cape & and costume packs you have.
So, for instance, I have the CoV Collector's, GvE, and Valkyrie codes on my account - when I go to the tailor, (and before doing the missions at 20 to unlock regular capes), the only options I have are Valkyrie, Collector's Edition, and single shoulder mantle. Only the single shoulder option has various patterns...

The OP mentioned that this happens when they take a character who has access to capes (or is even wearing a cape) to the tailor.
They also mention that on their character w/ the single-shoulder veteran cape, all the options are there. This leads me to believe they have the Valkyrie cape selected, and are looking for the various patterns under it.
It is never stated by the OP that they did the missions to unlock the normal cape; only that they have access to capes. My newly made characters have access to capes, but have to wait until lvl 20 to actually unlock the regular ones...

Eh, I'm familiar with the OP's posting history and do not find them to be someone who might overlook such an obvious explanation. I guess we can all have our "duh" moments, but maybe the OP will chime in soon and let us know whether or not they've done the cape mission on the character(s) in question.

Thank you Hellguard, that made me smile 
I have done the cape mission on all characters that are capable of doing so. This happens on both my villains and heroes. One of my heroes is currently wearing a starshot pattern cape, but when I went to fix a color on it, it automatically changed it to Valkyrie -- much like a costume piece that is 'old', however I have no other options except the Valkyrie cape.
For some reason, your problem is making me think of this bug , but I'm not sure why. The two issues really aren't all that similar, except that they both deal with costume pieces that should (or shouldn't) be unlocked.
Hmm, it could very well be related somehow. Access granted, access taken away? I think I'll try to do the cape mission on a character that doesn't have it yet and see if it works. Maybe the affected characters were unflagged for capes?
*edit*
When I went to the tailor with the intention of taking a screenshot of the bug, my game crashed when I selected capes. When I logged back in, the problem was fixed.
What happened? The world may never know!
Can you take and post a screenshot of the costume screen w/ the cape dropdown expanded? I would very much like to see what options you have available. That may shed some light on the problem.
I've got the same issue with many, but not all, of my cape-wearing characters. Sometimes it occurs with characters who already have a cape, and sometimes with characters who are just adding a cape for the first time. I already threw out a petition on it.
I have the same thing on at least one character. Who definitely did the cape mission, as she's *wearing* a normal (Rings) cape at the moment - and the version on test has full access.
/petition to CS says it's a known issue being worked on.
