So what????

Why do you think it's relevant what some persons personal opinion is about clothing?

Catholics keep pointing out what they call leaders of Protestantism said and did as if affects what we think of do.

We do NOT follow men. They had their issues, just like the rest of us and when what they say or do doesn't line up with Scripture, it gets recognized as wrong and tossed.

Anyone who puts a church leader of any kind on a pedestal is asking for trouble.

Luther may have and that would seem to show old habits (no pun) are hard to break.
Did not Jesus condemn those who set themselves apart from their brothers by elaborate dress, titles?
Imagine Paul telling Timothy,

“Now see here old man, You're to get rid of these Jewish ephods and outer garments and go with......go with something that shows your rank, say something with scarlet satin or silk, maybe a few crosses and rosaries....oh yes! When you go for the full monte of dress up get this big pointy hat, kinda reminds of a fish's mouth doesn't it, eh? And here's a whole list of stuff for the prebyters to wear when officiating.”

Right. My “beef” is that such are counter to Biblical principal and yours should be that it is a novelty that violates apostolic tradition.
