An issue I have with my cast of characters is that they're all "people" but they occupy different levels on the scale of anthropomorphy. Both Luke and Sully, for example, are somewhat more feral than someone like Zeke. Luke's original design is even lower down the ladder than Sully's—he's an accessory-wearing animal, essentially.
This causes some problems if I want to have Luke, say, infiltrate a high-society gathering (and make an ass out of himself in the process, naturally). He'd just be going around naked but with a top hat, which is silly. We're not about silliness here.
So just like Sully got a more-anthro tweak, here's a version of Luke who would be called out if he showed up to your soiree pantsless.

In the accessory-wearing animal (AWA) timelines, large portions of fabric may be hard to produce, what with everyone having raporial claws.
So AWA!Luke's throat wrap may well be the equivalent of wearing a gaudy gold necklace, and the very wealthy may have things like sashes and full-on sarongs for formal occasions. If everyone has large foot-claws, part of wealthy life may well be learning how to walk in such an outfit without shredding it.
AWA!Luke, not having such an education, would rip a borrowed outfit to shreds or trip all over himself. Probably both.

In a maybe-upcoming piece set in this universe, there's a similar meditation about the kind of tail pouch Luke wears. It turns out they're common for theropods, but some species find it very difficult to reach them without twisting their bodies uncomfortably.
But at least some of those have a solution: relying on a passerby. It's like commanding a peasant to fetch something from your purse: if you can do so while (1) knowing that the peasant wouldn't dare refuse, and (2) knowing that the peasant won't dare rob you, then that is a projection of very high status.
(Of course, Luke is the peasant, and his borked prefrontal cortex won't permit him to pass up a robbing opportunity.)
