Ever wondered about Hawks' costume being so baggy and not showing any kind of skin? At first I assumed it to be solely bc of the aviator theme and protection of the icy cold and winds especially in high altitudes and given his speed. After writing some one shots as character study I started wondering if there might be more,that he tries to kinda conceal himself; like hiding himself even further/ as much as possible under his costume and thus hero persona. Overthinking? Probably. Any thoughts?

yeah, i feel this. it's vital that we rarely see hawks outside his uniform since he spends so much time working, and even then he's usually still covered up in canon (long sleeved jacket or even a high collar to conceal his mouth). boy's always on the job

i think the first time we see his costume without the jacket is against his will when dabi burns it off. aside from killing the "does hawks wear a halter top" movement (rip brave warriors of the cause), i think it's representative of hawks' walls being torn down physically alongside the emotional attack of hearing his birth name. his clothes are part of his image and his protection.

he also covers his face in the jacket a lot. he's a sneaky, deceptive guy who tells a lot of half-truths, so this look def reflects that!
