I'm thinking of marketing a smaller, "Man Modesty Cape." It would be worn in front and down below, hanging off your belt, and just over your unit.

I'd call it, The Cape Canaveral, since it would disguise whether your rocket was ready for launching or not.

You do know, of course, that if capes do come back, lace, swords, and feathered hats come with them, right? I'm not walking around with just a cape on.

Sounds like not much of a rocket.

More like Cape Disappointment, or for Pedobear Cape Fear.

Capes for women did make a push in autumn 2011 and spring 2012 lineups. I haven't seen too many, but basically they are only to about the waist, will usually have buttons. They are essentially like a mini jacket with a hood but without arms. So far the only ones I have seen have been wool.

I can't click the link now, but I assume based on the name "Uther" that this is about the "World of Whorecraft" porn? I watched a few minutes of that one time... it was people doing the deed in a forest with fake elf ears on. :eek:

actually no, it's a seen from the 80's movie Excalibur.

How is a cloak supposed to keep you warm anyway? All it seems like it would do at best is block wind against your back.
