    I’m worried about the safety implications of bringing them back. What if they got caught in an escalator, elevator door, taxi door, normal door.

    Plus I think it would be rude if you are walking down the sidewalk and your cape/cloak keeps touching people who are walking by you.

      I don’t think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.

      Flashbacks to that chapter of The Watchmen where Dollar Bill tried to stop a bank robbery at a bank with revolving doors…

        I am aware of them haha but I know that those who wear them also do not like to wear long ones because of the inconvenience they cause.

        The long but slim/tight ones seem fine in most circumstances, but you can’t be claiming that the big and loose ones don’t tend to make their wearer hyper focused on trying to get through the “danger areas” without incident.
