I sent this to my friend along with a message about how much I’d love to see men start wearing this sort of thing, and his response was nothing but “that would get so dirty”

😭 quit being practical! Get it professionally cleaned between use, like a tux! Rent it or smth! Wedding dresses drag on the floor too, but you, the man, are too good to get dirty?????

Smdh.

I wore a cape to university one day as a bit. A guy in a passing car threw a drink at me in protest.

I'm not saying he was wrong, but I am sorry it happened. If it helps, someone once threw a kebab at me in a passing car. It was mixed grill.

That sucks. People suck. How’s men’s fashion ever going to improve if people are so shit about anything outside the norm?

I do larp, so I wear an above average number of capes and cloaks. It's super inconvenient, but at historically capes would end up at the lowest around your calves, because yeah this gets dirty.

And historically, that meant you'd drag it through literal shit that was in every street, not just road-dirt. It would get destroyed pretty quickly too. Also, as a dutch person, capes have the problem of not letting your a bike, which is a terrible thing of course.
