My dads side is Jewish but I like to wear WW2 or German military jackets.
Love to get me a WW2 Military Officers Greatcoat TOO . Like Jack wears on Torchwood, but a little shorter. Cause I'm, well, short.
I doubt many people on the street or clubs are going to bring up that piece of history, or call him out for wearing something out of character for that time frame.
Most of the people claiming to dress in "Victorian" clothing are actually mixing from different periods anyways.

Havelock, I don't see how a style drawing upon any of the influences Lolly mentioned would suggest a Halloween costume any more than Victoriana.
