Look, in general Mussolini was certainly more pimpin in his attire. But I've got a soft side for capes. Find me Mussolini in a cape and I may change my vote.

David Hasselhoff, of course, partially because I cannot, on principle, vote in favor of any Fascist.

Also because you don't hassel the Hoff.

You're right, seems he wasn't a great one for capes and I think it would have greatly enhanced his style..

Unfortunately you'd then have to take in the fact that the SS were fans of Hitler and they were dressed by Hugo Boss, and quite frankly for all the bad the Nazis did, those designs were.. well.. boss.

Let's compare them

>kills himself to avoid capture
>drab brown colors

Mussolini
