So, real talk: When writing parts of this chapter, I had in fact considered a scenario where Gavin approached Colette and offered more than his blazer. In short, he would offer his entire suit, initiating a second clothing swap. While I did think it was a cute idea, I had a lot of reservations about redundancy and - as described here - the size difference. Like, Rudy is a little taller than Ky, but they do have similar builds, so I didn't feel it was too much of a stretch for them to swap. But I don't think Gavin could realistically swap clothes with any other character (of any gender) in this story. He's just the only one I really draw like that.
It's not to say he can't wear a dress; he just can't wear that one. Of course, this leads to the other concern I had about writing in that direction. Gavin would not be doing this out of any dysphoria or interest on his part; it'd solely be in support of Colette. And while he's a pretty cool guy like that, and I could absolutely see him donning a dress if it's for his friends, he doesn't actually know Colette. The offer, best intentions or not, might just come off a little weird and creepy. I just don't think it would've worked.
Still, I gave that whole scenario a lot more thought than you might expect. As probably evidenced by me feeling the need to ramble on about what didn't happen. XD
Anyway, this page is really just meant to be a cute exchange between Ruby and Colette. And because they do have a lot they could talk about, we will see more of these two next time too. ^_^
Unless there was a private conversation that we didn't see, Colette still doesn't know why Gavin thought to give his jacket. Colette might have some tough questions for Rudy about what he has or hasn't told Gavin.
Kind of glad actually you didn't have Gavin switch clothes with Colette. While I agree that he would put a dress on if Rain or Maria or even Emily asked him to, I can't see him being particularly happy about it
