This page was vandalized on approx Jan 15, 2006. I restored it to what I think it was prior to the vandalism. Mark Allyn
Someone should add a picture of Insert non-formatted text heresomeone in a vampire coustume in a cape, as well as someone in a superhero costume.#REDIRECT spot
Doesn't it make sense that a cape served the purpose of maintaining warmth, like a coat or blanket? A cape is much cooler than a coat when open, indicating that its best use was in places with extreme temperature changes. Also, by wrapping it like a poncho or blanket, a candle could be held in the lap and the heat contained by the cape. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.8.114 ( talk) 21:53, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
I wonder if there is more to add to the practical purpose of a cape? Seems silly to me otherwise - a raincoat would provide better protection from the elements, or just a big blanket... -- 2600:6C48:7006:200:5C10:C716:750B:C3B2 ( talk) 00:23, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

I reverted some vandalism that happened on January 26.

Kapes is a proper name; I did a search on Google and found no reference to evening kapes, but lots of references to evening capes. -- Allyn 16:06Italic text, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Cape can also be a geological term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.165.71 ( talk) 23:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I am removing this image of User:Allyn modelling a garment he designed and sells on his personal website (linked to on his userpage) in violation of Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Self-promotion. Also, although being an unusual design, the garment in the photo is not enough to justify inclusion in an encyclopedia - otherwise everyone that makes their own clothes could justify adding their work to articles. See Wikipedia:Notability. Besides... Cape, Trenchcoat, Raincoat, Costume, Poncho... which one is it? Allyn has uploaded photos of himself to all these articles. I suggest adding the photo to commons.

A more suitable image would be one of a superhero with a prominent cape for the popular culture section. RP Bravo 14:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Add a vampire cape, that is well known as well.
There are capes worn by the Black Hand and Dark Templars in fiction.( 76.247.222.101 19:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC))
I thought the shorter form of cape (like the one in the picture), is called a capelet. I added this several weeks ago, but someone deleted it. cecikierk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.20.186 ( talk) 22:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Surely superheroes are the most prominent cape-wearers in today's culture? It seems very odd to me that they're restricted to a single line right at the end.
I agree with a previous commenter who suggested that a superhero would probably make a better image for this. The one we've got now strikes me as more of a shawl.
Also, I don't know if dictionaries are going to back me up on this, but to my mind the biggest factor distinguishing capes and cloaks is the presence of a hood. Is that just me? -- Oolong ( talk) 00:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Was Superman the first superhero to wear a cape? Has there been any discussion of the signioficance of such an archaic garment becoming part of the iconography of the superhero? DavidOaks ( talk) 19:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
This seems short. Is there nothing more to be said on capes? Could someone go into greater detail on variations or something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.223.247 ( talk) 22:47, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
I've known similar garments worn around the waist to be referred to as capes, or colloquially as 'butt-capes' are these not in fact a kind of cape? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.254.92.91 ( talk) 20:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
