OG Big Suit
I was gonna pitch a fit if this picture wasn’t here.
Glad to be of assistance.
Oh, the early 90s…
After the Columbine shooting in '99, trench coats were seen as evil and started going out of favour real fast. My friend who loved his trench coat was so sad he couldn’t wear his coat over to his friend’s place (who still lived with his parents)
I remember that. I had a really nice Burberry trenchcoat that I got in, like, 94 or 95. Suddenly, I couldn’t wear it anymore.
Global warming. Basically, it got too hot so they took off their coats.
Why would the aliens do this?
It was more that trenchcoats went out of style because they became associated with creeps flashing people and criminals moreso than the average person
Oooooooh.
~I was making a joke. 🤫~
A wool great coat is still in my “I’ll get one one day” list.
Check thrift shops. I’ve picked up a couple of them that way for $10-15 USD. People don’t really want them anymore so they end up donated when found in a closet.
Something I never really understood in X Files is that Scully was always wearing heels. How is that practical when treading through forests, fields and caves? She should have been given a sensible wardrobe with flat shoes!
It was the 90s. That was women in a professional workplace standard.
I remember reading in passing about some biker chicks, from when it was supposed to be men’s occupation. They got an advice from someone older: that men would hardly believe that women belonged on bikes at all — so to properly dunk on men, these gals needed to ride well while also looking good. Cue high-heel boots and the whole fashion outfit.
It might be a bit of a similar situation with Scully, seeing as she was a trailblazer character.
High heels were originally worn by men when they rode horses. The pronounced heel helped lock into stirrups.
I imagine heels also help lock into motorcycle pegs.
Mmmmmmm Scully riding a Hayabusa… Now that’s a thought
I mean her power suits were quite fetching, you have a very valid point.
My toes were sore just by looking at her sprint in heels, poor baby. And I doubt Mulder had the compassion to run her a foot bath and give her a massage, that self-absorbed jerk grumble grumble
I see you don’t subscribe to shipping those two.
Nah nah nah he doesn’t deserve her
Early seasons were shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, later seasons in I think L.A. The weathers a bit different.
That’s a hint of it being all a big coverup.
I had one of those coats back then.
They were heavy, uncomfortable, and surprisingly poorly insulated.
Have you ever yearned before?
I had one of those. It would always get shut in my car door. It was a pain at the office because it was longer than most of our coat hooks. And, it looked like I was from the '90s.
I’ve always loved wool coats and it makes me sad that they’re just not terribly practical.
Did they not do this in later episodes too?
I miss the Jeep Grand Cherokees and GIANT ass flashlights they had.
