One Suit for the Whole Voyage

Jack Driscol is tricked to sale with the S. S. Venture by making a mistake of expecting a check from Carl.  Therefore, his has just what he was wearing when they launched - his tweed suit. 

The costumers have taken this one set of clothing and engineered a number of different costume looks depending on the scene.  The picture study is broken down by scene because if you reproduce Jack's costume, you need to pick which scene you are creating.  Each of  the looks is vastly different... both in clothing pieces, wear patterns, accessories and attitude.

Jack's Costume Index

Picture Study

This photo study is in scene order.  If you are studying a specific item of clothing you will have to jump around a bit.

Aboard the S. S. Venture

He starts with everything, tweed jacket and vest, tie, dress shirt, tan trousers.  Also has hat and wovercoat that's carried.  He also wears his wrist watch throughout the movie.

He's still very proper as he starts to write, despite the fact that his office is the ship's hold.  He types his script with his tie on and only one button undone.  His cuffs stay buttoned up.

It doesn't take long.  He looses his stiffness as he settled in. He sheds the tie, another button comes undone on the shirt, the vest is unbuttoned and *shock* he rolls his sleeves up. just a bit.

Island Adventure

When the who group first heads to Skull Island, Jack is still wearing the same outfit, but one or two more buttons are undone so that now his undershirt is visible.

Island Rescue - Evening

These are some of the highest resolution images we have.  Jack has his overcoat on over the others layers -  somehow the coat vanishes come morning light and then reappears again in New York.  Guess that key marked the spot before he started getting chased by dinosaurs.

Also at this point he picks up a couple of important accessories -- his back pack and tommy gun.  He leaves the vest on the ship.

Island Rescue - Day

As the action gets tough, the shirt gets unbuttoned... and the movie folks add sweat and dirt for that more rugged look.
