The fashions of yesteryear seem better. I like the 50's with the brimmed hats. The baseball hats everyone wears now seems inferior.

I was watching the three musketeers the fifties version with Gene Kelly and I thought 'why the FK don't we have capes anymore? Guys sauntering around with capes fluttering in the wind.

today we wear t-shirts and cargo shorts?

we should have stopped with fifties fashion. pointy bras and nice suits. Madmen Fashion.

probably the single thing that stops us wearing capes is that you cant buy them anymore

baseball caps are more or less given away so folk wont spend on decent hats

I stopped with the cape when I stopped with the underpants outside my trousers:
