Back when I thought of Baron going into the future to Victorian times to find a sewing machine for Naomi, I needed to put together a Victorian shop. Now, I don't have a lot of Victorian clothing, and it's all jID size, and both Baron and the shopkeeper would be wearing some, so that didn't leave much.

I was considering making a whole new FID size black coat, but I can't see what I'm doing when working with dark fabrics. So I took the easy way out and just made two black tubes to fit onto, and lengthen, the sleeves of the coat. They'd just be temporary 'cuffs'. I did have to make Baron a new top hat though, since Steve's JID head is so much bigger, so his hat was way too big for Baron. In the end I thought he looked very impressive
