The Day of Capes
The Day of Capes (celebrated on the 16th of October) is a day in which thoes who contribute to this celebration wear capes. The origins of this little known about celebration is thought to date back to the Roman era though there are some who would stipulate that it has earlier origins than this.

Facts

 * The Day of Capes is marked as a celebration for the clothing industry of the early eras, the ownership of a cape in this early age was a show of power as the mass of material needed to create a cape of that time was expensive and hard to come by, especially the dyed capes from that era (as dye was quite difficult to come by as well).


 * The upper classes showed off this wealth on a particual day, which is speculated to be the 16th of October, where they had competitions for the best decorated cape and the most extravagant, among many other smaller competitions such as the best billow and the longest cape as well as the shortest.


 * In modern day era superheros are the main celebrators of capes in the fictional sense although many people do not think of the day of capes as an acctual celebratory day but it is infact a true holiday in which you wear a cape.


 * The Victorians commonly wore capes as well as a show of their wealth and extravagance.

Why Should the Day of Capes be recognised

 * The day of capes is a time where people can celebrate capes together and enjoy cape wearing activities (thoes mentioned before).


 * It gives confidence to those who want to let lose with the freedom that wearing a cape can give you, as well as teaching people the real meaning of all the hard work put into the making of capes.
