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?
Some of us do.
I'd love to wear more capes and cloaks but unfortunately I, like the vast majority of people, am not Alan Cumming and will never be as cool as him.
Short answer: because why would you?
There's one other thing that ended its use: it was used to concejal weapons. Some countries banned them just like wide brim hats (to see the face)
Because I am not count Dracula
Mostly because my cape is improvised and I need something to hold it in place, which usually means my pauldron, but I only wear that on special occasions. It also sheds a lot of lint.
That would be an interesting combination with my southern California uniform of flip flops board shorts and a tee
Most people can probably afford pants, shirts, underwear, socks, and shoes then that's it.
