"Field Marshal's Finery" has peeved me off for the LONGEST time. It does Hendrik no favors, cuts him in half at weird places, and makes him look like a cross between a marching band kid and the spokesperson for Spirit Halloween.

(Perhaps making him this terrible outfit was Jasper's final "fuck you" to Hendrik...)

First, inspiration/references. Since Heliodor is based roughly on European monarchies with a fantasy twist, I looked at pictures of English military formal wear, and found that the original costume was likely based in part on ~ 18th century Navy uniforms. Which.... are ugly as hell.

Since I didn't want to straight up make him a redcoat, I changed the hue of the sash and other accents, trying to keep a more cohesive color palette. The purple was not doing anything for me, so I sequestered it to the pins on Hendrik's chest.

The original jacket also cut him at a very weird, sharp angle at both the waist and knees, so I extended the outer layer and made it asymmetrical to provide a bit more flow to the outfit.

The small gold buttons are definitely a bit more modern than those weird mariachi things on his lapels in the original, but they match the decals on his belt (taken from his regular non-costumed model).

As for the inner layer, I substituted whatever vest+jabot mess he had going on with a simple high-necked red tunic so it doesn't look like he's drowning in his outfit.

Boots were next, getting rid of that pinkish color that appears nowhere else on the costume in favor of sleek black leather. I also colored the gloves and soles to match the leather of the belt, since the swaths of white were a bit distracting.

Finally, I added a normal cape to match, and updated his face/head to match the Heliodor Knight texture mod I have installed for Hendrik.
