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 don’t understand the weird remarks about sanity and commenters in your first part and it entirely sets the tone of the rest of the comment.
If you’re in a relationship where you can’t wear a cloak then it’s a bad one, it’s a clothing piece and you should be able to express yourself and your job should not be able to fire you either.
It’s entirely on you if a cloak is an odd impression, there’s tons of people that think they’re cool and such. Cloaks can have practical use cases.
You frankly come off as an asshole and it’s unnecessary and sad.
