Love to get me a WW2 Military Officers Greatcoat TOO . Like Jack wears on Torchwood, but a little shorter. Cause I'm, well, short.

If there's an excuse for attiring oneself like a Nazi, that excuse certainly isn't aesthetic. I don't give a shit how cool the cut of your jacket may be-- if it's identifiably a Nazi uniform, I'm going to (correctly) assume you're comfortable associating yourself with a genocidal war machine.

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.

That's true, because most people, especially among those found at goth clubs, are idiots who romanticize the Victorian aristocracy and neglect to acknowledge it as the sexist, classist, racist institution that it was. A good number of educated people, however, will look on a black dude in full Victorian regalia as a sad irony.
