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.

        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.
