Cloaks? I want these hats back:

Be the change you want to see. Whats stopping you from rocking a cloak?
Immediately people start hiding rifles and rock launchers under their cape. But it’s ok. I’ll curl up in my rock patterned cape to camouflage as a rock.
Warm is a problem though
This little mud ball is cooking
You'll get your cloak when I get my toga.
Come to College in portugal! Is part of the atire.
I had a "traje academico" back in those days. Loved to wear it on winter, it was so warm and confy.
I'm worried about the safety implications of bringing them back. What if they got caught in an escalator, elevator door, taxi door, normal door.
Plus I think it would be rude if you are walking down the sidewalk and your cape/cloak keeps touching people who are walking by you.
I don't think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.
Flashbacks to that chapter of The Watchmen where Dollar Bill tried to stop a bank robbery at a bank with revolving doors...
Do you know about dresses ?
Yikes, didnt think of that. I think we could work it all out though.
Check out the Cloak brand of clothes, they've got really neat cloaks that are super warm and fashionable!
Is that even a cloak? Seems more like an attached cape.
I want full cult/jedi ammonitiy.
Cloaks are really a cool idea and I miss them, not that I was ever alive for them being en vogue haha
A great look despite the obvious hazard of them getting caught on things
I prefer my ruana, it's like a poncho, but the arms have more freedom.
I have one that a friend made for me. Thick, warm, waterproof, not only is it my favorite "winter coat," I legit get compliments from strangers when I wear it in public.
I had one for a couple years, best winter 'coat' I've ever had! You probably shouldn't wear it with just a t-shirt underneath in the freezing snow, but with a sweater - you could wear that in the freezing rain for a while!
If I see one I'll get one and then probably not wear it. Unles it turns out to be super cool
You might think they look cool but they don't work that well when it's actually cold or raining hard
They are not cool hence the reason they are not mainstream
I have a cloak that I got from Topshop when I was a teenager. Was great for wearing at festivals. Still have it but doubt it fits these days
I've been thinking about this recently with the heat in my region. Wouldn't a light cloak, with very light clothing underneath, work well for sun protection (one or two layers over skin) while still keeping fairly cool (due to airflow)?
yes! we absolutely should bring them back. They are really functional and also just look fabulous!
