Just got back. I mentioned this before, but if you want to actually discuss this kind of stuff, I'm telling you just go make a reddit account and get good advice from people on /r/malefashionadvice

I admit I was shitting on you earlier too on one of your first threads but it's mainly from how bewildered I am of your approach of soliciting fashion advice started on 4chan instead of other online resources.

on to the points.

1. your guess that it is something like the 1880s late victorian era style is close. i'm going to list off some designers that borrow elements from menswear during the late victorian/bustle period:
alexander mcqueen fw 09/10, julius by tatsuo horikawa, yohji yamamoto FW 2015 and 2017, m.a+ by maurizio amadei. these guys are all hallmarks of what is today known as modern gothic or dark avant garde fashion. they take old traditional cuts and exaggerate parts of it. all use leather, suiting fabrics like wool/cotton twill/etc, and in the case of yohji/mcqueen red accents.

i can't fully articulate why suit pants would work with this jacket, i just have a feeling it does based on the works of designers i've been exposed to.

2. grunge and alternative/punk counter culture is the other archetype of this jacket style, and also happens to be the the subculture that Dante falls under. this has a different history but you have to go back to how a leather jacket came to represent counterculture. leather jackets were associated with military gear, then bikers, then parallel adoption in 1960s by american greasers and british mods of the tough guy archetype (james dean, steven mcqueen. you use something that is anti-culture such as military gear, and subvert it as a form of protest. pic related is a ww2 leather trench coat
