Capes

[aggienaut]

I know what I want to bring back? CAPES.

No, not cheesy superhero capes, or silly felt ren-faire capes. Practical fashionable capes. I don't think its as silly as it sounds.

Often, particularly when I'm working at my computer, I'm cold but feel uncomfortably constricted putting on a jacket or even a sweatshirt while sitting at my computer. Wrapping a blanket around myself is usually nice, but then you've got to finagle a way to have it around you and still have your arms sticking out. I often end up draping my jacket around my shoulders, basically wearing it as if it were a cape.

I think a cape could be easily designed that is both practical and not ridiculous looking. I think someone should do this.

Yeah I think cowls are pretty dang cool as well, but I can't see anyone pulling them off as mainstream trendy, which is what I'm saying COULD conceivably be done with capes.

Mike made himself something he called a kagool (sp??) It happened to be banana yellow, which was funky, but it was basically a monk like robe with a strange cowl like hood. Very good for slinking around in, though certainly not camouflaged!
