I've had this idea for a while now, but remember when capes where the "IN" thing in men's fashion. From the ancient days when actual knighted "sir's" wore armour under tunics, the Elizabethan era of Shakespeare & skeletons in cages in front of draw bridges, & the Victorian epoch where the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen should've gone after Jack the Ripper just as much as Moriarty.
They were the shiz! Elegant, though; proven by The Incredibles, a hindrance & impractical at times. But still, the cape was grand, dramatic and was devilish & heroic as hell!
That's why I lament that it's visage has disappeared off the face of our modern men's fashion (only women get the benefit of capes coming back in style), with sleeves being a bigger thing nowadays. But I don't think the cape's style is lost on us, merely misplaced among Auntie Mabel's hoarded junk & cats.
Fashion design is still design, & I enjoy designing. So here are my takes on what our modern capes should be, & they are still about drama, elegance & style - a man's man of something different & something lady killing.
When the opportunity presents itself, I'd so love to bring back the cape & design some awesome menswear in its slipstream. Heck! I've even come up with my own Label name... it'll be a secret for now of course.
