The Other Menswear in Indiana Jones

*The* *Indiana Jones series is full of great costuming. And I’m not just talking about what he Indy himself wears!*

*Yes, there is tailoring, but there’s also a lot of fun character quirks present in the clothing choices*.

*It just makes each viewing a treat for menswear mfers.*

As I rewatched all of the Indiana Jones movies, I realized that there is a lot of great menswear found in the film that isn’t simply brown fedoras and A-2 style jackets. So many other characters have cool or at least interesting outfits! This is a period piece after all and so it was a lot of fun getting to see the costumers balance vintage clothing with character-based sterling cues. I do watch Indy a lot, but I guess I didn’t really scrutinize the clothing until now! Better late than never!

Granted, I always knew that not much not much of Indy is true vintage, at least in the original trilogy. After all, Jones himself doesn’t really wear period accurate clothing. Instead, its all about crafting a vibe that fits the setting. Keen eyed (menswear obsessed) viewers will no doubt notice that many of the suits and ties are actually from the 70s and 80s. This is evident in the tie designs as well as the general shape of jacket lapels/positioning of the notch and buttoning points. That being said, they do pick the proper garments to best approximate the era, though this is rather easy, as menswear in the 70s and 80s did take cues from the 30s and 40s. It works to dress Indy himself as well as the other sartorially minded characters and extras in the film.

It isn’t all good though. The worst offender can be seen in the “Basket Chase” sequence in ROTLA, where Nazi agents are wearing some of the most ill fitting suits I’ve ever seen (bar Live By Night). The main one I’m referring to seems to wear a jacket that is both too big and too short for him which features true 70s bell bottom trousers. The only “good” point is that the suit is at least khaki and makes sense for a desert environment. Thankfully that scene is the only case where the costuming is truly bad. Well, other than Indy’s horrid Venice travel outfit (ugh).

In fact, the two recent flicks work hard to improve upon the costuming, even if they are the worst installments in the franchise. This is best helped by the fact that we see more characters to evaluate the clothing choices, such as students or even the villains themselves. Instead of feeling like an 80s send up to 30s serials, the costuming feels more like a true period piece, almost akin to Public Enemies or The Man from UNCLE (which I should honestly cover). The wardrobe moves into using true vintage or at least garments made from vintage patterns as well as more direct lifts from vintage styles instead of doing a vibe. But I’m just being picky.

Overall, I really enjoy the costuming in the Indiana Jones films. There are so many styling cues that communicate character quirks as well as the general time period that we are being thrust into, making the whole series turn into a fun game of “spot the details” for menswear and vintage enthusiasts.

So as one of the final blog posts of the year, enjoy my analysis and commentary on the other outfits seen in the Indiana Jones franchise— on both heroes and villains alike!

Also, you can listen to the podcast episode below while you read. It’s good and long!

*Do you think Brody read the essay on Pinstripe Suits?*

*I love that he goes from a conservative Dean to a dandy fellow in TLC.*

*We also gotta love the ivy curmudgeon that is Henry Jones Sr. He’s even got a sack suit with swelled edges!*

I think you’ll immediately notice that Indy’s compatriots are rather well dressed. In a way, some of them represent the only classic menswear aspect in the franchise, especially since Indy is mostly in his Adventuring Attire!

This is mainly seen in Marcus Brody, a museum curator and dean at Marshall College where Indy was a professor. His appearance in Raiders is short but is full of warmth and gravitas, serving as Indy’s “boss” as well as friend. This vibe is shown in his rather conservative 3PC grey pinstripe suit and solid tie. Of course, Marcus is made out to be a rather bumbling fellow in TLC, which is played up with even more references to English trad. In Venice he sports a bowler hat, grey 6×1 DB, a striped tie, and a lapel chain (which you don’t really see in movies). Once we get to Iskenderun, Marcus is seen in a tropical variation: khaki DB suit, green stripe tie, and an Optimo crown panama hat. This is what he remains for the rest of the film as he soon gets captured by the Nazis.

However, ivy-trad goes into full effect with Indy’s father, Dr. Henry Jones Sr. Unlike Marcus who favors conservative DB suits, Henry opts for the professor special: a flat front brown herringbone tweed 3PC (complete with swelled edges) and a droopy foulard bow tie. It’s not hard to see parallels to Indy’s own penchant for brown suits and bowties! If you look closely, you’ll note that he has some sort of watch chain in his waistcoat as well as pens in his pockets; we love some practicality. Of course, Henry gets a hat for himself (something Indy seldom does with his professor attire) which is a grey houndstooth trilby-bucket hat thing. All of this put together definitely screams “old academic” but to me, it’s not exactly “1930s”. The entire vibe is more akin to what a curmudgeonly bookworm would wear in the late 70s.

This theme of academic attire is continued in Marcus’s spiritual successor in KOTCS, Charles Stanforth. Like Indy, Charles wears a brown 3PC suit and bowtie, but thanks to the atomic fleck fabric and the fun foulard bow tie, he ends up looking period accurate rather than period-approximiatory like Marcus and Henry. I’ll also give him a shout out for the browline glasses. Are these going to make a comeback or did Mad Men exhaust us already?

*Indy is cool, but Sallah certainly gives him a run for his money with an all white outfit.*

*What’s more is that the striped pants are part of a double breasted suit! I wonder what the thought process was behind this look…*

*Sallah is again seen in a white suit (no stripes this time) but with some additional details!*

We do get a bit of contrast when it comes to Sallah, the “best digger in Cairo” and one of Indy’s best friends. It is here that we start to get a lot more fun, which certainly fits Sallah’s boisterous (but kind) personality.

Salah’s initial appearance in ROTLA is rather toned down but is perhaps the most #menswear as you can get. He wears an open point collar shirt (with flap pocket I might add), cream base pinstripe trousers, and a nice little straw fedora. We later learn that those trousers are part of a truly epic double breasted suit; he even wears a funky abstract tie that looks quite late 70s/early 80s but passes for a 40s swing tie (which is still too late for the era but thats okay). WIth the boutonniere, Sallah ends up looking like a rather dandy guy who loves making looks as much as Indy does.

The ROTLA outfit was iconic enough to “copy” for Sallah’s appearance in TLC. In Iskenderun, Sallah dons yet another DB summer suit, this time in plain cream linen; it seems to be a true vintage of unknown era (20s/30s?) but it does have an interesting lapel shape, mother-of-pearl buttons, and unstructured shoulders. However, that’s just scratching the surface. Sallah trades his fun tie for an even wilder one that appears to be true vintage from the late 40s/50s based on its short length and abstract design. It’s red and black scheme is echoed by a myriad of horizontal stripes found on his cummerbund/sash and contrast collar shirt. There’s no boutonniere this time but Sallah makes up for it with a pocket square and fez. Dandy indeed!

I’m also glad to see Sallah in DOD, who updates his look to the 60s with a madras 3-button jacket and a fun paisley sport shirt. It’s different but it does seem like something Sallah would do! After all, he still has that fez!

Belloq is the true #menswear archeologist. He’s out there in the desert but still makes time for a jaunty neck scarf, thin belt, and big pleated trousers.

*Pleated patch pockets and spectator derbies!*

*Toht also wears a suit and fedora but his look couldn’t be more different.*

Now there are indeed other tailored characters in the franchise…they just happen to be worn by the villains. What’s interesting is seeing how there are differences in the approach to tailoring that not only contrast to how the heroes wear their suits and ties but in how they each communicate something about the antagonists.

Belloq is certainly the king of this. While Indy wears his ivy-trad 3PC suits and rugged brown field clothes, Belloq dresses for sleaze and ease with linen suits and separates. Whether he’s in an open shirt and bandana or fully suited with a striped dress shirt and grenadine tie, Belloq looks sharp. It makes for an arrogant aura, showing that he’s above it all in the worst way possiblel— he’s truly in it for fortune and glory. He certainly is a “shadowy reflection” of Jones, which is echoed in his hat choice: an immaculate straw fedora that is just the right size to make for an elegant appearance.

It’s interesting to note that while his tailored jackets have an action back with pleated pockets, the overall look appears more 60s/70s in the dimensions of the lapels as well as the overall pairing of the shirt and tie. That being said, I’m sure you could find some real 30s illustrations or photographs that approximate Belloq’s look.

ROTLA also gives us another tailored character that also serves to contrast Jones’s attire. Gestapo agent Arnold Toht wears what will become the go-to non-military Nazi look for movies going forward: a black (striped) 6×3 DB suit, wide black fedora, and of course, the black trench coat (which he refuses to take off in the Egyptian desert). Toht has such an iconic and imposing appearance that you immediately know this man is truly nefarious, even before you see the Nazi lapel pin. It not only contrasts Jones but to Belloq as well. Such is the power of suiting!

*Donovan looks elegant in a 4×1 tuxedo.*

*For most of the film, he’s in formal grey suits, playing up his industrialist side.*

*In the last act, he wears a grey military/safari suit.*

TOD doesn’t have much in the way of tailoring, but we get right back into it with TLC, thanks to Walter Donovan. The conniving American Nazi is first introduced to us in a disarming way, as Donovan shows his own knowledge of grail lore while wearing an immaculate 4×1 tuxedo complete with wing collar and red boutonniere. He looks like he’s straight out of an Apparel Arts illustration! And even though the tuxedo is most likely from the 80s and not true vintage, it does look like a good approximation.

While Donovan is interested in history, he’s not an academic like Brody or the Joneses; he’s an industrialist. So while he wears suits, it leans more on the luxurious side of conservative suiting. Grey suits are the name of the game, whether they’re DB (at least in one shot) or a 3PC SB, complete with a white shirt and grey/silver micro-houndstooth tie. It almost feels like certain aspects of morning dress, as grey/silver suits and ties are on the more “formal” side of business/day suiting. He even accessorizes with a homburg and grey DB overcoat in Austria and dresses for the weather in Iskenderun through an Optimo panama and white bucks; both are things wealthy people would wear in the 1930s.

The grey theme doesn’t stop there however. During the last act of the film, we see Donovan in a military/safari suit which, like his regular suits, is slate grey (most likely wool gabardine). It features a pleated and button-closure patch pockets, a fully belted closure, and jodhpur trousers. It doesn’t look to be like an official military uniform (as worn by Colonel Vogel) but it does give off a bit of that vibe, just in a civilian way. This is played into with the use of a pith helmet and the “bad guy” combo of a black shirt and grey striped tie. If only he had chosen more wisely.

*Hot take, but Mac honestly looks more like a true adventurer than Indy. I just love the safari jacket, workshirt, and those damn boots!*

*Mac also has a sense of occasion, wearing a guayabera and smoking a stogie when he’s down in South America.*

Crystal Skull’s Irina Spalko doesn’t have much in the way of menswear (she wears the hell out of her grey military jump suit though), but we get our fill with George “Mac” Michale, Indy’s British companion with a chronic backstabbing problem.

Mac, like Indy, seems to have an Adventuring Unifiform of his own seeing that he’s found in largely the same fit for most of the movie. His “hero jacket” if sorts is a khaki field jacket, complete with epaulets and pleated patch pockets. Underneath, Mac has a point collar workshirt (worn severely unbuttoned) that he pairs with a thin burgundy neck scarf. Khaki chinos are his pants of choice (showing the contrast to Indy’s “Pinks”), which he tucks into knee length boots.

His look is so interesting to me because it’s largely closer to the Adventurer Outfits worn by Golden Era movie stars as well as what was donned by old archeologists. Perhaps in another world, this is what the Indiana Jones outfit could have been.

Mac does deviate from this look once in the film. When spying on Indy in Peru, Mac wears a big straw hat, pink guayabera shirt, big khaki trousers, and a dark neck scarf. I like that even with this pseudo vacation look, Mac still includes a nod to his basic style.

*Voller brings us back to suited Indy villains. He might be the most period accurate in that regard!*

*He even updates his look in 1969 by moving from a structured DB to a natural shouldered, hard 3 button, slim lapeled suit.*

Dial of Destiny brings us right back to true suited Indy-villain form through Mad Mikkelsen’s Voller, a Nazi mathematician who is obsessed with returning back to the past and assuming control of the Reich.

In the 1944 set cold open, Voller is seen wearing the look made famous by Arnold Toht before him: a striped DB suit, red striped tie, circle frames, wide black fedora, and of course, a black leather trench coat. Unlike previous entries in the franchise, Voller’s suit looks like its true vintage or at least based on an actual 30s European suit. This is seen in its heavily square shoulders and bellied lapels, common on European suits of the era. Voller also seems to be wearing an actual spearpoint and not just a regular point collar!

In 1969, Voller edits his look to match the times. Instead of a structured DB suit, the not-so-secret Nazi now wears a classic 60s suit (I’m talking hard three-button) in a light taupe/grey wool . He seems to almost evoke Donovan with a tonal palette, using a grey/blue point collar shirt, and grey micro-geometric tie. Voller’s round glasses are now updated to be firmly 60s with the use of browline frames. It’s an austere look that seems to fit his calculating obsession with mathematics.

Voller does variations of this look throughout the film. In Tangier, he wears a dark grey suit with the same blue/grey shirt and this time wears a green micro-foulard tie; he also adds a light grey fedora done in the 60s style: short, tapered crown and a thin brim and ribbon. In the boat and Sicily scenes, Voller takes the opportunity to get a little tropical with an unstructured tan 3 button jacket (with patch pockets) that he conservatively wears grey slacks, a white shirt, and simple geometric tie. Like Donovan, he also wears a straw hat just in a dark straw. You’ll also note that Voller’s sunnies are really just his normal glasses with clip-on shades.

In the finale, Voller forgoes all civilian clothing and embraces his true evil, donning an SS uniform in order to complete his plan to return to the past and assume command of the Third Reich. This makes his karmic (and incredibly absurd) death all the more satisfying to see. In that way, Voller represents the epitome of Indy villains: a full use of vintage-style tailoring and being a fucking Nazi.

Continental Drift!

There’s also so much more great menswear to be seen in the films, even in the side characters! These government guys look so good. Pure Ethan fodder.

*Lao Che provides some wild ideas for black tie that I don’t exactly hate.*

*There’s also Panama Hat, Garth, and the rest of the gang in 1912. It’s so good.*

*Dial of Destiny even gives us a sampling of late 60s youth and collegiate attire!*

In addition to these sartorially inclined heroes and villains, there are still a lot of interesting menswear to be found across the entire franchise. In fact, one of the appeals of watching this franchise is to see all of the small vintage details and character based choices found across all of the films!

Jock wears the Spencer Special: ball cap, rayon shirt, and chinos. Vintage trad is seen on the two government agents that recruit Jones: one wears a simple grey suit and repp stripe while the other wears a brown pinstripe 3PC and foulard bow tie. Short Round wears quilted pants, vintage style sneakers, and of course a 1920s era New York Yankees cap. Mutt Williams, Indy’s surprise son, has his entire outfit lifted from Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones not only due to the black double rider, but the cap and ringer tee; keen eyed watchers will see that Mutt’s jeans are also selvedge! Kazim and his brethren of the Cruciform Sword get to wear some epic striped suits (some of which have twin breast pockets), which is emphasized through the use of a white shirt and cream tie.

Side antagonists also have some outfits to note. Lao Che and his sons have some garish takes on black tie, which make for a fun vintage nightclub look (in Shanghai no less), even if its not exactly period accurate. Garth/Fedora, not only wears the dons fedora that Indy is implied to wear, but a leather barn coat and a band collar shirt. His other compatriots in TLC’s intro sequence get to have some western and 1910s inspired wear that make their scenes feel more “old-timey” compared to the main 1930s setting. Panama Hat himself wears a cream flannel jazz suit (complete with funky piping) in the flashback and upgrades to a cream Palm Beach DB suit. Two Russian KGB agents get to wear short brimmed fedoras, balmacaan overcoats, and dark three button suits while they pursue Indy and Mutt through Marshall College. Klaber gets to wear a green suit and yellow bengal stripe shirts during the NYC horse-motorcylcle chase while Hauke humorously wears an aloha shirt while brandishing a MAC-10, almost calling to mind the boogaloo boys of today!

Changing gears, I do want to note that I enjoyed how this franchise also gives us some collegiate outfits on screen. In the 30s set movies, you can see a lot more ivy and trad elements like fair isle sweater vests and droopy foulard bowties. This soon changes to vibrant sport shirts and varsity jackets once we get to the 50s in KOTCS. Student attire gets even more casual and hippie-esque when Indy teaches at Hunter College near the end of his career. It’s all subtle choices, but it helps emphasize the different eras that span Indy’s life.

Now please enjoy a lot more photos and observations I have on the menswear in Indiana Jones. There’s a lot more than you think!

Belloq is first seen in a full safari outfit. It contrasts quite strongly with Indy’s more “cobbled together” attire.

Of course Belloq is most known for his summer tailoring. I just love the angle of his hat! It may not be as well known as Indy’s, but I think its really good.

The shirt and tie combo isn’t exactly 30s to me, but its a good look. It feels a bit more 1970s chic and something you’d see from Husbands or J. Mueser.

I do love that Belloq’s suit is a belt back, complete with a center pleat as well as pleated patch pockets.

Toht also has quite an iconic look. While Indy’s fedora helps frame him as the hero, Toht’s wide black fedora creates a more imposing and sinister vibe.

The black leather trench coat also adds to that vibe.

Other movies, like Jojo Rabbit seem to have also taken cues from Toht.

Underneath the trench coat, Toht wears a black multistripe 6×3 DB.

He also seems to have had a solid red pocket square.

I wonder if Herbert Johnson made his fedora!

You just gotta love Lao Che and Sons’ black tie! The son on the left seems to be rather normal, but the others have some inspired choices.

I love Che’s black jaquard dinner jacket as well as his black wing collar shirt. But honestly, the two tone ensemble on the right might be even better.

Chatter Lal has a rather British look with a 30s looking DB, spread collar, crest tie, and a lapel chain.

He later switches to a Nehru suit for the dinner scene.

In 1912, Panama Hat wears what seems to be a jazz suit of sorts along with a high cut vest, and cravat. He also has a wide straw hat.

In 1938, he goes full 40s with a black shirt, a more moderate hat, and a cream DB suit.

Donovan is perpetually in a grey suit and silver tie. He seems to be wearing a DB here…

…and later puts on an SB three piece, just with the same shirt and tie.

He later dons a DB coat and homburg, further emphasizing the grey/silver theme.

In Iskenderun, he gets a little summer-y with white bucks and his own panama hat!

For the desert action sequence, he dons a pith helmet and military/safari suit (also in grey).

Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko also wears grey, just in the form of a military tunic and matching pants. It contrasts with the green of her soldiers.

She wears a different variation in the beginning, as this one has a camp collar.

Mac looks more like a typical archeologist/adventurer with his safari jacket, bandana, and work shirt.

It almost seems like a shout out to the outfit on the left from *Secret of the Incas*.

I posted this earlier, but its important to note that Mac seems to have the two color variations of the same jacket. I guess when you’ve found your look, you’ve found it!

Voller is basically dressed like Toht in the beginning of *Dial of Destiny*.

However, it does look more period accurate based on the suit design as well as the spearpoint collar.

Looks like pretty good take on a 30s German suit!

Like I said earlier, Voller updates his look in the 1960s. However, he does maintain the same muted color palette.

During the boat scene, he ops for separates, wearing an unstructured khaki jacket with patch pockets as well as a dark straw fedora. Its fun that these villains still make time to dress for their location.

It’s not sunglasses, it’s clip ons for his regular glasses!

The jacket looks like its a modern “shacket” that you see from most menswear brands. It does work for the period!

Now lets talk about the goons. Here’s a Nazi in Cairo wearing what looks to be a true vintage suit.

However, that tie is extremely 70s…though the narrow knot makes me think other wise!

This is the worst outfit in the series. What is going on with this cut! Based on the trousers, it looks like it could be a 70s suit, but that boxy jacket lacks all of the sexiness associated with that era.

He straight up looks like Frankenstein’s monster. The guy on the right is also seemingly wearing 70s trousers.

More Toht cosplay from these Nazi stooges in Iskenderun.

The suit on the left does seem to be true vintage, though most likely from the 60s or so due to the narrow lapel and buttoning point.

Just compare it to this 60s illustration!

Knit tee with ribbing on this Nazi mechanic.

White tie worn by the insufferable butler at Castle Brunwald.

I love these stereotypical sailor thugs on Panama Hat’s boat.

Lao Che’s gang wear the Gangster Special: black pinstripe suits, cream ties, and a big black fedora.

It reminds me of this guy in *Gangster Squad.*

KGB agent in a late 50s suit and short brimmed fedora.

I like how they make this guy go sans-waistcoat in order to provide visual differences.

Klaber wears a green 60s suit with fun bengal striped shirt and abstract tie. It’s an interesting outfit that might call to mind the greens and browns of German WWII uniforms, but that might be a stretch.

He later wears a short jacket with a white shirt and grey pants, making him look like a field agent despite his statement that he “doesn’t take a government job”.

Hauke wears rather normal 60s attire. Makes sense as Voller and his men are para-military rather than official government agents.

He later wears an aloha shirt. Again with these bad guys who dress for the location!

If he was here today, maybe he’d be a boogaloo boy.

A typical 60s vertical striped camp collar shirt.

Small Rahim wears an immaculately fitting jacket (look at that silhouette) which has fun details like pleated patch pockets and no **breast pocket**. I also like his henchman’s look of a brown suit, solid tie, and funky medallion print shirt!

Of course the best goon has to be Garth/Fedora. He’s meant to be Indy’s progenitor, at least in terms of aesthetics. He has a brown fedora, leather jacket (a barn coat instead of an aviation one), and a band collar shirt (instead of a safari jacket). This all makes him look more western.

Okay enough of the baddies. Let’s talk about the good guys! I do like Marcus’s 6×1 DB suit. While 6x1s were available in the 30s, I would’ve liked to see a 6×2 as was more normal. This looks to be an 80s suit, but those horizontal peaks to a good job of evoking the Golden Era. Nice tie too!

The tie is so nice that he wears it with a taupe suit in Iskenderun.

Gotta shoutout Sallah with the 60s jacket and funky shirt in 1969.

Henry Jones Sr. seems to be dressed quite differently from his son, but if you think about Indy’s professor attire, it actually makes sense.

Henry gives more 1970s than 1930s, but its still a good look! Check out that leather watch “chain”, complete with dedicated loop in the waistcoat!

He gets a big balmacaan when trying to flee Berlin.

It goes without saying that Short Round’s look is really great.

I don’t mind Teddy’s either! I love the use of a safari shirt on top of the jersey. Its incongruous but that’s where true personal style lies.

Fisherman sandals! This whole thing feels like something I’d see in the NYC menswear crowd.

Mutt has a uniform like his father: tee shirt, leather double rider, and selvedge jeans.

The whole outfit is taken from Marlon Brando in the *The Wild One*.

Check out that selvedge line! I wonder if these are LVC.

Mutt has a penchant for flecked suits like his father…though this could just be the effect of the 50s. That tie is very period too!

Even side characters have some good looks. Jock is pure Spencer core with a an embroidered work shirt, cap, and ratty chinos.

Captain Katanga looks cool as hell with a chunky cream rollneck.

Dan Akroyd’s unnamed character (who may be working with Lao Che?) wears a classic British safari outfit, complete with gurkha shorts and long socks.

Speaking of Brits, Captain Blumburtt is extra British in his red officer’s tunic.

His field outfit is pretty cool! I love the tonal shirt and tie combination.

Kazim has a really cool look, combining a tonal shirt/tie combo with a crazy suit.

This old man is so fly. Is it time to bring back wing collars *outside* of formal wear?

I’ll say it again, the government agents in *ROTLA* look very good.

Seems like the guy on the left only has one suit! At least he has a different shirt and tie.

Lets contrast the guys in *ROTLA* to the ones in *KOTCS*. You can immediately see the late 50s (and 60s) ivy influence here. Button down collars replace point collars. It’s all no nonsense here.

Both of them have great block stripe ties.

Lets look at the collegiate attire. Really enjoy this fair isle and bow tie combo worn by the teacher’s pet. I may have to wear something like this when it finally gets colder.

Charles, our Brody-expy. certainly has an academic look but done in a 50s way through the atomic fleck fabric and the more “fun” foulard bowtie. I bet all of it is true vintage!

Hollywood jackets and sweaters with piping abound in the diner near Marshall College.

The Joe College types stereotypically wear varisty jackets with sportshirts and ties.

Mutt’s greaser buddies are all in black double riders. Most seem to be in plain white tees but you can see some late 50s sportshirts in the mix!

That’s a gaucho shirt! Extras get the best vintage.

This shot has some fantastic vintage clothing. This is what makes Indy a fun watch!

Bow ties for a wedding! Just check out the funky pattern on Oxley (left). Charles also gets to wear a fun flecked suit yet again.

Collegiate attire is still done well in 1969.

So much variety of looks in this shot, all serving to help express the era. Also it seems the student in the previous pic is here too. Maybe he’s a TA?

Different academic looks. You’ve got a gunacheck suit and bowtie, and then brown separates and a rugged look (safari jacket) on the two gentlemen on the left.

Hippie looks in the crowd! Quite zeitgeisty—though perhaps online menswear has already moved away from the 70s?

They look fantastic though! You’ve got the classic madras + navy blazer look but also a kids safari suit.

Quick shout out to Helena, who gets some great late 60s attire in *DOD*.

A beret, round sunnies, and a neck scarf? Now that’s SaDCore.

But the best dressed gal (and winner of my heart) has to be Marion Ravenwood. She wears a fun silk shirt and scarf in Nepal.

Who could forget the iconic Basket Chase outfit?

She doesn’t look half bad in Indy’s gear either. Though if you look closely, that’s a *true* vintage A-2 and not the 80s creation that Jones actually wears in the films!
