Clothing?


Nice to see that the ship has an onboard drycleaners.Certainly useful with the dirt that gathered on the uniforms when the crew were scrambling about over rocks and things!

They all had a endless supply of nice clean clothing.

Sort of like the westerns from the sixties.

Everybody looked so fresh, so well-scrubbed - and when they were shot they didn't bleed (usually).

Constant clean clothing was apparent in the 1970's Survivors series.....no dirt,no body odour despite 99.9% of the worlds population dying of plague. This was addressed in the third series when everyone looked a little grubbier!

I'm a recent big fan of Laramie, the Western show. I notice that Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) often has a sweat-soaked and dusty hat. I'm glad they added that touch.
As far as blood, idk. They just didn't show that sort of stuff back then.
Not sure if that was good or not.

I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me.

Actually, when you watch all the episode back-to-back on Hulu.com, as I did, you notice that the girls, at some point, must have made their own dresses out of stolen Giant fabric. Mark Wilson must have killed a rat or mouse, skinned it, tanned the hide, and made himself a nice-looking leather jacket. But you're right: how did Steve and Dan keep those uniforms clean? And how about Barry and Fitzhugh?

It's because it's the far future of 1983 and everyone has pocket dry cleaners? Or Everything Repellent Clothes (TM), maybe

Whit sad old loser'd be thick enough to don thon get-up?

Just like Gilligan's Island, the clothes the skipper and Gilligan wore were always clean with no wear or tear. The Howell's brought enough clothes to last for a hundred years.

I always think the captain running around in the bright red suit sticks out like a sore thumb.

I'm guessing the girls wore new clothes because they made them. :)
