Conceive a costume of this scale… You’re risking ridicule, I mean, it’s a monster costume and the last thing you want is to rather look silly or camp and yet it has to look larger than life and heroic. (…) My costume particularly does so much of the work for me ‘cause Loki’s silhouette is so incredibibly menacing and those clothes are so mean and it’s leather and metal and gold.’
Yet you manage to look so incredible….
Is he trying to say that the sweat pulls his chest hair…?
I couldn’t help but notice the design of these trousers.
MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER, PLEASE!
I’m talking about the opening.

Anyway, being a bit of a history nut buff, I’ve looked as some real and replica garments from the Georgian era and I noticed that Loki is basically wearing Mr Darcy pants, also known as britches or breeches.
Basically, before zippers and button up fly openings, trousers were a lot more elaborate and they fastened around the waist, then a flap buttoned up the front, like so.
So, you know, if anyone’s wondering how to get Loki out of that get up, if you like history and historical garments, you’re welcome.
Also, does this mean Loki is really just Mr Darcy in leather?
