All I can think of is Tom Hiddleson running down the carpet, snatching it off her shoulders, screaming “Loki’d!” and running away, flapping the cape behind him.

English Costume of the Nineteenth Century

Things I will never understand:

It is perfectly acceptable in modern society to go shopping wearing flip-flops, pyjama pants, and a sweatshirt, often with one’s hair uncombed. (for an added dose of surreality, there was a fashion when I went to school to wear this ensemble with a messy bun and massive amounts of makeup)

However, if one stops at a convince store on their way to or from a medieval reenacting event, in full dark ages regalia, including jewellery, boots or bog shoes, leather belts strewn with tools, neatly braided hair and circlets, and naturally either a gown or tunic and trews in linen or wool; people will ask why you are wearing pyjamas.

I just went to put something in my pocket, when I realised this dress has no pockets. So I pulled out my thigh holster, strapped that on, and put iPod in that. I think this might be the thought process for certain video game designers.

This holster is actually roomier than a lot of the pockets in my clothing.

It affects the hang and fit of the garment. It’s not a terribly good reason, but it’s the only one I can offer.
