Yeah I like the top hat too, I'm just saying that's the only part that makes it seem "historical"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

A man should be able to defend himself

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago (2 children)

A really well dressed guy that lives in a cool climate. You wouldn't wear that shit in Texas or Florida or Missouri.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Of course not. Who wants to summer in the colonies? My word.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

The upper class did, even before air conditioning. I don't know how they did it.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Probably with the aid of their fainting couch.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

I'd love a fainting couch, all I have is this stupid blackout futon.

Lots of enslaved labor doing all their shit for them.

Think about the cowboys and dandies who wore wool suits in the 1800's.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Presumably, yes
