Thank you for this delightful post! It is both entertaining and informative. I also appreciate the gentle corrections you make to fandom cliches that seem to have sprung up around Arthur's and Eames' sartorial choices.
I was somewhat aware that the myriad choices Kurland and his team made with regards to cut, style, and color palletes were acting as a visual shorthand for characterization but seeing the details laid out is wonderful! Thanks for all the time and effort that you obviously lavished on this.
I HAD to choose Saito's formal look as my favorite - it's just magnificent as both costume and statement - but I adore the individuality that Kurland brought to each character. My single favorite piece is either Arthur's topcoat or his Navy suit from the Sydney to LA flight: gotta love someone who can wear a double-breasted waistcoat and OWN IT!
