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?

Just out of curiosity because I see signs for it all the time, we went to Boot City yesterday.

The first thing you see when you go through the door as the overpowering smell of leather hits you is a massive row of cowboy hats that just keeps going and going.

It was not a pleasant experience overall. This was amusing, however:

I was hearing Jeff Foxworthy in my head. "If your living room furniture is made of cow horns..."

Holy cow! Oh uh... no, I mean, I guess literally!? :-P

Holey cow. It's the only way they could get the rivets through the leather and horn.
