Despite what we’re told by Big Fashion and social media, the function of clothing is not always to impress the people around us. Yes, it’s nice, but the true function of clothing is to cover our bodies while we pursue our own hero’s journey. Quint is first seen wearing a fisherman’s sweater over his denim shirt, and corduroy, all of which look old and a little dirty. The bill of his hat is broken because Quint is a man who bends nature to his will. It’s such a perfect picture of his character I could scream. It’s hard to write about Jaws. Everyone knows it. Even if you’ve never seen it you know all of the film's story beats because they’ve been copied so many times. You’re probably terrified of sharks even though more people are killed every year by donkeys. You can thank Jaws for that. Peter Benchley, the author of the original novel and screenplay, later became an ocean conservationist and expressed regret at having ever written it. It was a cultural phenom the likes of which had never been seen before. Matt Hooper enters the story as the young oceanographer brought into the field to figure out what the hell is going on and his costume reflects that perfectly. His leather duffle bag shows his youth. He is a professional but he has not been out of college for very long. I know plenty of guys who have a bag just like this handed down from their dad’s college days and they still use it to this day. He wears a watch cap and a dive watch to show his bona fides as an ocean explorer. He is an oceanographer dammit and he will be taken seriously. Despite not being comfortable at sea Brody still manages to save the day and go on to slaughter even more sharks in a multitude of Jaws sequels.

In the same way, the function of a costume is not only to wow the audience but to inform them about the character. I may not gush over the outfits in Breaking Bad, but they are an integral part of the storytelling process. And the sharks worked great, hell, everything was working great until they went out on the actual ocean. It turns out saltwater gums up mechanics faster than a two-year-old with slime and a heating vent. Bruce crapped out on a daily basis. The costumes in Jaws are a perfect example of this storytelling technique. Although they appear natural enough to be from the actor’s closet, each piece was carefully selected to enhance story-telling. I hope that by the end of this, you’ll understand what dressing like the movie Jaws has to do with personal styling. Dressing Like Jaws: “Timeless” 70s Summer Style For the rest of the movie, we’ll see him in the same hat with a variety of denim, fisherman’s sweaters, and his military coat. Hooper Lots of us feel like we don’t belong like we’re characters in someone else’s play. Maybe your job tells you what to do and wear. Or maybe you feel like someone else is dictating what you should be like, whether it’s the kids at school or the moms at the park. But you can make your own personal style choices without looking like you’re wearing a costume.

Bond characters are a tried and true Halloween staple. Here’s how to make it your own and stand out this year. As an aside it was always something of a mystery what watch Hooper was wearing but finally after the release of the Blu-rays it was determined to be a Nautoscaph from long forgotten watch brand Alsta.

Now, these aren’t going to be perfect replicas of the looks in the film. It’s not cosplay and it’s based around easy to find clothing that most guys have already in their wardrobes. You may need to buy a new piece or two but almost everything here can be considered a staple. For the sake of this discussion, I’ll be talking about five characters as they’re introduced, and the outfits we first encounter them wearing. I’ll add other inspiration based on their costumes in the links, but I’ll try not to talk about them as much. Chief Martin Brody Good costuming goes beyond the design. For most movies, you have to have multiples of each outfit for continuity. You also have to consider the actors, the resources, and the money you have on hand, plus the time your team has to put everything together. For the movie, it was important that the customers chose outfits that both worked for each character, and were easy to find.A film that was only supposed to take 55 days capped off at 159 days, and was way over budget. Everyone involved thought this was going to be a disaster. So why go to the lengths they did to create what was essentially a summer monster movie? With 25 (official) films in the James Bond film franchise, there are plenty of creative costume ideas to choose from in the long-running spy saga. Quint,” played by Robert Shaw in the Steven Spielberg classic film, Jaws is an ageing but expert shark hunter.
