Capes are one of the most fashionable articles of all time. They

that's because you're a pussy

Because they're clumsy and cumbersome, their function long since replaced with umbrellas and rainjackets and heated rooms everywhere, respectively. Wearing a cape meant, originally, that you're so afraid of cold and water that you still wear a cape, which is why people stopped doing it. Not it means you're probably cosplaying as some historical movie character because you're autistic and lacking self-confidence.

Stop posting this fucking thread I'm so bored of seeing it.

because they look fucking stupid. who do you think you are tuxedo mask?

Because of cars. Cars also killed ankle-long overcoats.

Capes are objectively inferior to coats. The shape is simpler and easier to manufacture, but you can't use your arms, the baggy shape catches in doors, et cetera. Once modern production techniques let us easily mass-produce clothing, the cloak lost its sole advantage. Nobody wears them because they're obsolete and if you're autistic enough to try you deserve a good kicking. You will not look cool or mysterious or badass, you will look like you got lost on your way to a LARP convention.

If I saw you wearing this in public I'd assume you're planning some kind of mass-casualty event and preemptively defend my own life.

Mostly because alot of the time we aren't in the element like most people were back then. Cars instead of horses
