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?

        yep, ive had a full length cloak since childhood and wear it when im home or in the office but i rarely travel with it on.

        i got it because of lord Nikon from Hackers.

      But you’d take the cape off to drive though, like any big ass winter coat
