And since we're on the topic of Victorian styles, I'd love to have a late Victorian era khaki British officer's tunic with one of those broad leather pistol belts. I don't need the pistol, but the belts themselves look cool on the outside of the tunic. That and a pair of real cavalry boots. I have a pair of modern black harness boots, but the harness is built into the boot itself and runs under the arch of the foot, rather than being belted on the outside. It's alright, but the friction from the bulge in the insole of the boots (where the harness strap runs) pressing on my foot's arch got uncomfortable. It forced me to buy a pair of cheap Dr. Shoals insoles. That fixed the problem, but it's just not quite authentic.
