Only if I was the owner of a castle.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I did it before hipsters, if they're doing it now then never again... Unless I become a super hero.

 

[Rafavert]

University students in Portugal wear capes..!

 

[Galang]

I have one almost exactly like this.

This looks awesome. If I could rock that look id do it

 

[King Tubby]

If I'm ever wearing a cape or a fedora you have permission to shoot me.

 

[Friggz]

Tetsuo pulls it off.

 

[Alienous]

If I can one day pull off a Ezio shoulder cape I'd be happy.

 

[Skux]

I'm too short to pull these off (5'7"). Anything longer than my hips looks like I'm drowning in fabric.

 

[ghst]

That looks fucking cool.

now imagine him wearing that while fumbling for his change trying to buy a six pack of tesco value toilet roll and being called a twilight bellend by the lads in the queue filming him on their phone.

 

[Sword Familiar]

A short cape, maybe, but not a long one. Too impractical.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

There's no such thing as "fashionably wearing a cape".

Yeah that ship sailed a long time ago.


Maybe one day tho. lol

 

[True Savior]

It's very common in academic settings.

 

[Caronte]

They make you look shorter, I don't see the point.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Well, it is good cape weather.

 

[Moff]

I always wanted to wear a cape, I couldn't pull it off though, so no

 

[Zombine]

You know who else wore a cape probably? Jack The Ripper.

 

[Desi]

I used to wear one of these Juun J trench capes about 5 years ago.

Lasted about two winters before the trend completely died.

I still wear mine from time to time. Can't let it go.

It would need to be one of those Game of Thrones capes made out of Bear pelt and lions fur from its mane.

Have one of these too!

 

[Barrylocke]

I know this can't actually be pulled off in real life, but I'd still love to believe.

 

[acheron_xl]

I already really wear a long coat well, a cape wouldn't be much of a stretch.

 

[Oberon]

I am not popular or rich enough to go away with wearing a cape.
I totally would tho

 

[Rktk]

Man buys his Apples at Harrod's with plastic.

 

[RedShift]

The only time I've worn a cape is when I was dressed as Superman.

Let me tell you, the feeling as it swishes out behind you when you run is amazing.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

GAF is full of fashion blind peasants.
Yes OP, capes are awesome but you wear them as an accessory to a smart formal outfit
Don't make a fool of yourself by pulling one over some pedestrian shirt and jeans... eugh!

 

[Currygan]

I found it acceptable when I was 7 and mum dressed me as Zorro, now I refuse to look like a dork...unless I become Zorro one day

 

[mltplkxr]

Always wanted to wear one wrapped around manga style / Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western style. I'm all for the comeback though. We need more people wearing weird clothes.

 

[Kinyou]

Where do I find this sex stuff with capes? I've been on the lookout for that Eyes Wide shut club for a long time now

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Problem is that you can't be an unclean chubster with mountain man beard AND still somehow expect to salvage your look with a cape. Or Fedora.

 

[Robot Pants]

There it is. Shoulda been the first post

 

[Timedog]

I wore a bed sheet as a cape in 9th grade. Shit looked fucking awesome when riding my bike, a huge cape flowing behind me. It kept getting stuck in my bike spokes though, so I had to downgrade to a child's cape from a costume, which was way too small, and which I used a sharpie to write "Poopmaster" on, including a superman-like P symbol.

 

[Phreakuency]

Came for this and barely had to scroll to find it. Good job sir!

[DiipuSurotu]

The only reason this one looks decent is because it doesn't look like a cape at first glance.

 

[ZiZ]

On one hand it would clash with my fedora.
On the other hand it would go great with my katana.

 

[Eidan]

That looks fucking cool.

This guy just needs to finish the ensemble and where a mask.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

That looks fucking cool.

do you know who else wore capes? that's right, Hitler!

if you wear a cape you're basically a nazi tbh

 

[Jay Sosa]

Would?

Already do, it goes great with my fedora.

 

[Machine]

All day, every day.

 

[TatteredHat]

If it's cold enough, I think anyone could get away with wearing one if it looks like it'd keep you warm.

 

[Diablohead]

If I owned a mansion and had a great deal of money, every day mate.

 

[Oberon]

Nazi also killed the armbands on unifrom thing.

 

[Ostinatto]

What about ponchos?

 

[Master Thespian]

Nazi also killed the armbands on unifrom thing.

Nazis killed almost everything cool about military uniforms.

 

[Dennis]

Being a monster aside, can't deny Hitler is rocking that cape there.

 

[JadedWriter]

I'd only wear a cape if I could walk like this down the street.

 

[dramatis]

Sure, why not. There's ways to integrate it into other fashion too.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

From a purely practical perspective, I do wish capes, or more to the point: hooded cloaks, were commonplace. To have a single long layer acting as a rain/wind shield that you can quickly take off and hang up to dry makes so much fucking sense. It seems to me that it's one of those basic clothing needs that isn't being offered.

Capes don't seem to serve a purpose at all, but cloaks deserve a place in the world.

Being able to turn quickly and have it swing out like in films would just be a bonus.

Why not wear a long raincoat and be shielded on the front as well?

The Nazis, despite all the evil, were incredibly well-dressed.

Reminds me of Bison.
