About this deal

Hi-key, when I decided I wanted to do Hero Looks, Jaws was at the top of my list. As a kid, I was too scared to watch it, but it’s okay, I’ve watched it two or three times a year to make up for the lost time. 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. 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. 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.

But here’s a fun fact: there are no credited costume designers on Jaws. Robert Ellsworth, Louise Clark, and Irwin Rose were credited later, but looking for them on IMBD, you won’t see Jaws. As someone who loves research, that makes me kind of crazy. This is one of my favorite movies, and I can’t find a single interview about the costumes? Quelle tragedie. 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 from Jaws are not flashy or designer, but they are intentional as hell. Every outfit is not only a great representation of the character, but it also feels like something they would have wanted to wear. Whether they chose it for form or function (looking at you, Quint), the costumes help us blur the line between character and real person.

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. Ellen is Martin’s wife, and while she represents what he’s trying to protect and come home to, she’s smart and full of life. She dresses in bright blue colors and basic flattering silhouettes. I also love a woman who utilizes scarves and hoop earrings, because they’re also my go-to accessories. If you’re looking for some 70s summer-style inspiration, Ellen is your girl. Mayor Larry Vaughn

This shit does not fit him, and we know immediately that he is too small for the role to which he’s been elected. He’ll continue to wear similar outfits for the rest of the movie, and it’s all *chef’s kiss* QuintFor 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 The first time we see Brody, he’s putting on his uniform, joking with his wife, and telling his kids to stay safe. When he drives off, we know his profession, he’s not from the island, and that he’s a loving family man. My beach queen is only in the first two-thirds of the movie, but she wastes no screen time. The first time we see her, she’s waking up with her husband. She wears a pale blue nightgown and a matching blue robe with red gingham trim. She is beautiful, vibrant, and stylish.

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.

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 Quint,” played by Robert Shaw in the Steven Spielberg classic film, Jaws is an ageing but expert shark hunter. According to Peter Benchley’s source novel, Quint was something of a local entrepreneur who ran several different businesses in his local town of Massachusetts, namely a bootleg distillery, a whale oil business, and a weekend charter service.

The Casio MDV-106 is the perfect watch for a guy like Quint. It’s inexpensive, durable and no-nonesense. Throw it on a perlon strap and you have something that will take a beating with the fast-drying, easy to adjust perlon strap being the ultimate strap for tough voyaging. The American Optical Aviators were the original aviators used by the US Air Force during the Vietnam Conflict and well beyond. Randolph Engineering now produces them for the US Military but American Optical still makes them to GI spec in the USA for the civilian market. 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. As I’m sure some of y’all have noticed, I really enjoy movies with flashy costumes and over-the-top fantasy elements. While we can take elements from exciting costumes and incorporate them into our Hero Looks, there is a lot to be said about a simple look that works as an introduction. That’s why I love the 70s summer style of J aws. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Sean Connery films like Goldfinger and Dr. No or you prefer Daniel Craig’s world-weary take on Bond, there are plenty of ideas you can borrow for this year’s Halloween costume.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? 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. Misterjaw was another shameless attempt to make the shark craze palpable for young viewers desperate to think of the ferocious fish as something more than the subject of their pool/bathtub/bedtime terrors from the period of 1975 to 1980. (Not that any of us aren’t still absolutely terrified of the undersea beasties). But this show differs from the animated garbage fire that is Jabberjaw for two reasons. First, it is really cleverly done. You see, Misterjaw is a lovable character who had the good fortune of being a recurring segment on The Pink Panther and Friends, a series created by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises — a company that never quite acquired the stink of repetition that plagued the output by its rivals of the era like Filmation and Hanna-Barbera. 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.
