    I’d settle for a cloak. A nice leather, or heavy woollen cloak would be amazing for being outside on cold evenings.

    Unfortunately, they are still seen as dark and ‘edgy’. Moreso even than a trenchcoat. ☹️

        Unfortunately, it would likely be detrimental to my ongoing work situation.

        Though saying that, the BBC had a guy who would turn up to work dressed as a wizard (think harry potter style). He was the reason Teletext continued for so long. He was the last one left on the team. They retired Teletext the day after he retired himself.

        I’m still not sure I have the force of personality to not just look like an idiot try hard however. 🤷‍♂️

        Tempting… Unfortunately, I don’t think I could pull it off. You need a certain… force of personality to pull off something like that. I’m just not outgoing (or skilled!) enough to pull off a full Thom Merrilin look.

      Went camping at a festival my band was playing at. I had a woolen cloak as part of my costume. Everyone was shivering. I was loving life.
