, which stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck as partners in crime who set out to rob a corrupt politician in Boston only for their plan to go completely wrong, made an early impression for the vintage Red Sox jackets worn by“It’s funny, it’s one of those films that I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s not really a film for costumes like that,’ but then people started bootlegging Jack Harlow’s look when the trailer came out,” Antoinette said. “They started bootlegging his vintage Red Sox jacket.
Antoinette’s approach to the film’s costumes was anchored in creating an accurate portrayal of Boston, as the movie involves many different types of police officers and firemen from the city. She did extensive research on the uniforms of Boston police officers and even got support from the Boston Fire Department to utilize actual uniforms for the actors.
This authenticity also came through Damon and Affleck’s costumes, which were mostly thrifted or aged workwear pieces. Affleck’s character had a similar vibe, however, Antoinette wanted the character’s costumes to reflect his relaxed attitude. The character similarly wears workwear styles and also favors hoodies, which Antoinette said reflects how he is hiding a lot in the film.
