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?

Bikes superior to cars once again.

Do you know from experience or is this speculation? I believe you, I'm just curious.

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
