THE COSTUME

JACKET

“When we went to La Rochelle for the first day of shooting, at the Nazi U-boat facility, there was only one costume ready! I took Indiana Jones’ clothes with me in my own suitcase. The evening before we went to set, we had dinner at an oyster place and then I went back to the hotel and I aged that jacket. I had mineral oil, a steel brush and Harrison’s knife — he used to carry one of those big Swiss Army knives, in case he had to fix anything. He and I had a drink by the pool while I was working on the jacket, and I cut myself up real good — my hands. I wanted to give Harrison whatever he needed to bring that authenticity to the screen.”
