Best James Delaney Costume Guide
James Keziah Delaney is not just a man, he’s the devil himself. Played by Tom Hardy in the BBC One drama series Taboo, Delaney is presumed dead for 10 years until he mysteriously arrives back from Africa to inherit what’s left of his inheritance, his father’s corrupted shipping empire. During his stay in Africa, he has both seen and done despicable things, scarring him forever. James Delany uncovers a dark family conspiracy while aiming to avenge his father’s death.
James Delany might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but it is definitely the classiest clothing. First, you’ll need a crisp, ironed Slim Fit Dress Shirts upon which you’ll wear a Black Waiter Vest. Then, you’ll be putting on a fine pair of Black Casual Pants buckled with a simple Black Belt. On top of all that will be a Double Breasted Overcoat. Jump into a pair of Black Captain’s Boots and finish the look off with what will be a nice, sturdy Black Top hat and a pair of Genuine Black Leather Gloves.

About James Delaney
Who is the real James Delany? Nobody quite knows. But, a better question might be: What is James Delaney? He might just be a mentally ill person, or the devil himself. As far as history goes, James Delany started off as a Corporal of the East India Trading Company. As a Cadet, he showed great promise and was an outstanding student. But then the worst happened and he was lost in Africa.
Presumed dead for over 10-years, he came back to London, physically and mentally scarred, to inherit his father’s shipping empire in the BBC One series Taboo. As expected, things weren’t so easy with powerful men after his blood. But James Delany is no pushover. He’s cunning and ridiculously strong, coldly calculating and not afraid to tear out human throats and hearts. And that’s just the beginning. In Africa, he learned some terrifying rituals as well, further adding to his gory personality. He constantly blurs the line between reality and fantasy.
