        At least luxury cars are comfortable and fun to drive. This thing just looks uncomfortable and ugly with no utility.

        I mean I sorta get it. Anyone wearing it is conveying that they can’t do anything practical or even tend to their own needs. Which means they have the resources that free them from it. Induced weakness to display strength.

        Point is it still looks uncomfortable.

            All you people care about is land and castles, this Holy Roman Empire deserves a better class of Kaiser, and I am going to give it to them.

      Display of wealth and power seems to be the obvious answer
