I watch a lot of #TikTokTailor videos, so maybe this is a weird question xD If the boys were being fitted for new suits (and hats!!!!!) to go on a morning stroll along a sunny riverbank, what fun patterns and colors would their tailor try to put them in to bring out their unique personalities? 😍

Thank you for the ask!! And BUCKLE IN because there is nothing I like to talk about more than tailoring!! 😤🤝

For a sunny riverbank, they'd have to be in trendy (for the 1870s) dittos—three-piece matching coat, vest, and trouser suits! And while they could come in bold patterns like this plaid example from LACMA, I doubt Hugo or Seamus would actually go for such a statement. (Leave that to James or some other bolder soul!)

Seamus already wears a grey twill morning coat and trousers in his day-to-day, so he might match it all to his waistcoat instead in a cream coloured tropical wool—or even linen, if it really was sweltering! According to The Gentlemen's Art of Dressing with Economy (1876) light-coloured clothes are cooler in the summer, as they reflect the sun's rays, so it would be a practical choice as well. But the patterning, if any at all, would be subtle; I don't think he'd want to go for anything too eye-catching.

For a fancy, personal touch, he might exchange his usual bright blue necktie for a summery foulard with a dainty floral pattern in a lavender colour.

Hugo's a little more conservative with his style and would prefer to stay in his comfortable palette range. A khaki or tan ensemble would suit him well, and he might be a little more adventurous with its weave; a thin windowpane check, perhaps with a subtle contrasting colour would be just enough personality to shine through. He might stick to his usual black tie but opt for a turndown collar, too, for a more fashionable and casual look.

(Oh and they're both wearing cutaway coats too, to show off their matching waistcoats!)

As for accessories, they'd both wear bowler hats due to the informality of their ensembles. I think by 1875 or at least 1876 it wouldn't be so pressing to have gloves on at all times, but they might still wear them. For Seamus, he might be more fashionable and match his necktie in a lavender kid glove, whereas Hugo might wear his old faithful black gloves.

Even if it feels a little weird to see them wearing something different, I think they look quite nice! 😌✨

Ask anything! 💌
