So let's talk about badassery. More specifically, the outfits associated with badassery. These outfits can be simple: a loincloth was enough for one famous badass. Then there are people who prefer outfits that are a bit heavier. I must confess, I have a soft spot for something in between: the long coat with a wide-brimmed hat.
I first started to dig this as the "Witch Hunter" look from Games Workshop's Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 lines. You can't go wrong with something like this:
But the original badass in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat was probably Solomon Kane, the Puritan monster hunter created by Robert E. Howard (you know him as "the guy who invented Conan"). And now there's going to be a movie about him. If this trailer is any indication, it's going to be badass to the brim:
And that's awesome.

Can the Red Son fly beneath an Iron Sky? Um, or something like that.
this reminds me of a discussion jared and i had once. we ended up decided that actually, men in skirts were more badass than men in pants, because what is more hardcore- getting up, flinging a blanket around your waist, and killing something, or patiently placing one leg at a time through a pair of pants, potentially also having to take your shoes on and off? clearly it is the kilt or robe which wins that battle.
