Billowing in the wind
I have a particular vice, and that is jackets and coats. I have several cluttering up our flat - I'm the Imelda Marcos of impractical outerwear. Denim jacket - check. Fleeces - check. Sheepskin 'Biggles' type coat - check. Not to mention the two velvet jackets, brown PVC jacket that looks like leather but isn't, brown studenty-type jacket, black padded warm as toast job, big thick duvet style winter coat, three quarter length thin as fuck but incredibly cool jacket.., I did have a rather splendid mandarin style leather jacket, but it got ripped and I've misplaced it - it's around somewhere.

However, my big vice is long coats. I went to Thailand a few years ago and had one made - a full length job in grey, with burgundy lapels and lining. It's lovely. But my favourite is the full length leather job (and it fulfills the Spike fantasies of the sweary one, so added bonus). But my guilty pleasure when wearing it is this...

On windy days, with said coat worn, the effect of it billowing around me is that it makes me feel like some kind of superhero. A dark avenger, minus the utility belt...

I fucking love it!

I'm much the same
There is something about billowy coats. When combined with a wide-brimmed hat it also adds a very neat Van Helsing effect too.

Oh for sure
I have a full-length black leather coat like the one Neo wears (or rather Morpheus as I think Neo's is fabric) - a while back when it rained really heavily, I put my sunnies on and went out in it on the pretence that I was going to the shops. I just wanted to pretend I was Neo in Revolutions really.

And
As I've mentioned before, he can wear frilly shirts without looking like a shirt-lifter.
