Long coats were very warm, but they were phased out because people stopped using warm coats and they were heavy and bulky in a bucket seat. They also fell out of fashion because trades and sports moved to lighter-weight synthetics, which made its way down to casual wear.
They’re coming back into fashion now in big cities, though. It’s nice to be able to sit outside in the winter without freezing.
cars also killed the long wool coat
I would say bikes killed that and I am totally fine with it.
I dont get why you would wear a coat or a hat
I wear a hat every day.
It’s to cover my head btw
Plenty of people biked with long coats

Interesting, yes I always wondered why trousers are so thin and the legs freeze. I wear wool leggings, then it is warm too.
