I’m just gonna say, I was kind of baffled and delighted by the costuming here. Because the trailers, with the white cape, and everyone flipping their shit about him dramatically walking through some water etcetera– I was like, aw fuck, there’s gonna be another Aesthetic Cool villain, I don’t need this in my life
and then on the giant screen there he was with his weird white outfit that clearly nobody had ever ironed and like what is that, waterproof canvas or fucking, like, ripstop fucking nylon, what the fuck
I couldn’t stop staring at the tailoring of the shoulder things, like– that’s definitely like a nylon blend, what the hell, is it quick-drying or what, no it looks terrible. And it clearly can’t be pressed; it’s not that someone neglected to press it, it’s that on its best day that’s as good as it’s capable of looking. It can’t take a crease and is just going to sit there being sort of cold and plastic and rumpled, and it drapes like a fucking tent. Here I come, I’m so dramatic, I’m wearing a fucking EZ-Up.
Sure, it’s probably stainproof, like a goddamn raincoat, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get slowly and inexorably just– grubby. And you can throw it in the washer and hang it to dry and it’ll dry in no time but it won’t really be clean. And you can’t iron it. That’s just the best it can do.
It’s the only way to have a white cape, but it’s pretty clearly not really worth doing.
(Look at his sleeves. The cape is bluish. The sleeves are not. The cape is goddamned nylon or something, the sleeves probably something like polyester. They’re distinctly different shades of white. That’s fucking terrible.)
The extreme and obvious GQ/nerdlord dynamic tension is pretty much exactly what I wanted and didn’t know I wanted.
(Bail Organa, meanwhile, was clearly wearing some form of wool blend, with a heft and luscious drape
you could really mash your face into; notice the upper part of the garment, where it crosses over the shoulders, has turned and stitched hems for structure but the lower opening is unhemmed, clearly made of something fulled that wouldn’t fray and needed no edge-stitching.)
