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?

    I use enough of my income on functional clothing that the idea of spending anything on something which does wat a coat does but worse and without pockets makes me physically ill. I’m just not the right type of autistic to want to walk around dressed like a highwayman and I don’t own a brace of flintlock pistols.

      Cloaks can have pockets! Everything should have pockets!

        My pants have pockets in the pockets. Not even bullshitting for the meme.

            If “fob watch” means car keys and earbuds, then most definitely!

            ^I know what a fob watch is, guys^

            It’s not the fifth pocket. These don’t actually have that, they are cargo pants.

            There’s a pocket at the bottom of the right hand front pocket. One on the inside of the pants on the left hand pocket for hiding things.

            There’s a couple other ones, but I don’t use them so much so I forget where they are. There’s 17 pockets on these pants.
