Poncho

Something came to my mind recently: is it me, or are ponchos back into fashion or something? You are going to tell me that I know nothing about it and they never were out of fashion to begin with, but I have seen them more, I think, in shop windows and catalogues and so on. Or maybe it is just a false impression I have. I never wore a poncho, except those throwaway plastic ones you can scrunch into a tiny bag and you use when you travel somewhere in case it rains. When I was a child I remember my mother wearing one that looked like an old rug. It was the seventies. Not even a hipster would want to wear that. But my mum always told me it was a great piece of clothes, both comfy and warm. I'm not sure I would like to wear one myself. First, because I think only Clint Eastwood in his prime can look good in it and because I read somewhere that it's not really practical. Anyway, what are your thoughts on ponchos?
