Why don't we wear capes/cloaks anymore? (lemmy.zip)

I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.

However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?

M8! You just payed $160 for a hoodie without a zipper!

Edit: it does look pretty sick though.

Those are all jackets, 100%. Doesn't matter what the seller calls them, those are clearly jackets because sleeves.

You seem like an absolutely charming and fun person to spend time around.

Very much so, thanks for noticing though: It's always lovely to hear.

Cool jacket by the way.
