Not like this they don't! At least not in any of the places I frequent. Sure, people will dress pretty slick for formal parties now. I guess maybe this was all formal wear for its era, and not something worn daily. Or maybe it was worn daily for the very wealthy.
join a fashion hobbyist community. there are, in fact, many groups for people who want to dress up. some people dress up quite a lot, and this guy is an example.
Yeah this was pretty rare fashion in its era, a small selection of the very rich wore it but most people were dressed far more blandly than the average today
Yeah. They do.
