The thick metal around the neck is enough to make the cape look less "basic" aka more out of place in old school. The cape looks good/tough with bright colors, red inside, and thick collar. It would be just fine without the bottom trim.
Sorry I don't like it, and thanks for addressing some peoples concerns, but the trim on the bottom just doesn't look very good. Having something on the bottom of the cape clashes with the moving animation of the lava.
Seems like it would knock around on your boots when you run. It would probably hurt your neck to have that weight at the bottom pulling down.
