Crowley's Regency clothing: trousers

(This post has been updated Sept 19, 2024)

A large number of writer woman-hours were devoted to researching Crowley's and Aziraphale's clothes. (Why? You'll find out in mostly chapters 5 & 6. Update: okay, and 7....)

Over his left hip there, his buttons all line up nicely- the decorative button on his tailcoat, red double-breasted waistcoat, and narrow fall trousers all in one line. The same is true on the right side. (YES that's why there is a closeup picture of Crowley's trousers, and for absolutely no other reason, why would you even ask that?)

Crowley's trousers in S2:E3 minisode "The Resurrectionist" are called "narrow fall", as in the right side of the above illustration. (Aziraphale's appear to be the wide fall variety - those on the left of the illustration - from what I can tell.)

This is kinda important for Stunning View readers (cough). The below pic shows how the trousers fastened with the fall flap down.

From the Good Omens promo pics, it looks like Crowley's trousers have 5 or so buttons on each side of the flap instead of the single one shown above. And we never see but he'd presumably have some buttons beneath that holding the waistband together in the middle like the row of 5 in the above photo.

(But in Stunning View we're going to assume there are fewer buttons in the middle than that pic. It's creative license, shut up.)

In case you're curious, I didn't just take a lazy out by calling what they wear on their legs "trousers". Hours of research went into that conclusion. (I got *this* close to going with breeches, but was dissuaded by various evidence.) But the time wasn't all wasted, I did get to add two historically accurate words to one particular chapter: "narrow fall". *WINK*

I could make it on time!!

Here is my participation for the Secret Exchange Event organized by the Good Omens Reference Library Discord! I had to do something for @brenna @scullyphile , who said that they liked when Aziraphale and Crowley played with their gender, so I went with a female presentation Aziraphale, and put them in a sort of Regency area winter ball, because... why not!!

I think we can see it as a Happy New Year wishes card^^

Crowleys version of my Regency portraits! :p

I like to think that Aziraphale keeps this tucked away somewhere, maybe he likes to look at it when he’s missing a certain demon 👀

💖Happy Valentine's Day💖 This was my trade for the @goodomensafterdark Valentines Exchange, some ineffable husbands during the regency era. A little bit of spicy nakedness but still very mild Let's hope this soirée gets them somewhere 😈

Crowley's Regency Clothing: Waistcoat

Stunning View!

CROWLEY'S RED WAISTCOAT MAKES ME FERAL. And it took many writer woman-hours to figure out it even is a waistcoat. A supposedly official source I found called it a corset. It's not (though men from this time period *did* wear corsets sometimes - but under all these other layers); it wouldn't be visible. The bottom right picture of David BTS makes it very clear as a waistcoat since you can see his shirt sleeves and the black panel of material on the back of it.

It's so overlapping/ crazy looking peaking out between the lapels of his tailcoat! And that's largely because it's double breasted, and has BIG notched lapels (see bottom 2 pics especially).

Tiny Laudaddy shows off the full front of the waistcoat really well!

I especially love how the costume designers put it together so there's a little border of red peeking out below the tailcoat. 🔥

a clandestine meeting interrupted c. 1861. the ladies crowley and fell found conversing unattended in the parlour without chaperone nor candlelight, who both seemed flushed and annoyed to be found out by other party attendants

Early 19th century sketches have such a distinct quality to them, it's so hard to capture! A sneak peek from the AU I am working on, where a modern-day Aziraphale comes across a trunk of old letters and diaries...

October 24th 1821 Disaster! I must hurry and source a new copy of Pride and Prejudice before my trip back to Oxford, lest Angel notice the incriminating red wine stain marring the inside pages. I cannot say if it is his fury I fear more, or the smug expression he will wear when he realises I have been reading it. November 2nd 1821 Arrived in Oxford today. He knew immediately about the book. How he grinned and crowed about it for an entire afternoon! A dreadful, awful bastard. I love him terribly.
