You're welcome! I like the fact that there are people who appreciate me being slightly odd when it comes to information. I just can't let questions go unanswered when I know exactly where to find the information... such as sitting on my DVD shelf, but in need of extraction and organization. :P
Dean is definitely wearing more plaid. IMHO, I think it started around S7, when I'm 90% sure that SPN got a new head of costumes. It did indeed use to be a very rare event for Dean to wear plaid. He had his blue plaid and his two brown plaid shirts, and he's wear them once or twice per season, and I think that was it for the first 5-6 seasons.
I'm glad for Sam's sake that you are out there appreciating his vast blue plaid collection. ;)
How do you distinguish between the "S2 Red Shirt" and the "Red Carhartt Shirt" (using your names for them)? To my untrained eye, they look the same!
Pocket stitching. That is like 90% of it when it comes to Dean's plain shirts. In the case of the Carhartt versus the S2 shirt - the breast pockets of the S2 don't have flaps. The Carhartt does.
On other shirts or jackets, I might be able to only tell them apart by the SHAPE of the pocket flap - ie: is it pointed or straight? Does it have square edges or rounded? - on some of his green shirts, I actually do have to look at the stitching itself, are they single or double seams? Are there odd decorative seams that don't appear to have a function? Stuff like that. Most shirts that I call "scruffy" or "rugged" have multiple-seams on the pockets, which give the shirt a more "work shirt" feel, rather than single seamed shirts that could arguably cross the line into dress-shirt in a pinch. There were two shirts in the early seasons that I actually had to be able to see the shoulder stitching in order to tell them apart from other shirts... and since Dean sometimes never takes off his coat, that led to a lot of entries of "this MIGHT be the shirt..."
The Carhartt shirts are particularly easy to tell apart form other shirts, because wardrobe doesn't remove the leather brand label that Carhartt puts on the top corner of the left-breast pocket flap. Whereas, wardrobe WILL remove the Levi's label from all Levi's shirts.
Also, does your "don't worry about commenting late on episodes" policy still stand? ;)
That policy will ALWAYS stand!! I love talking about episodes, it doesn't even matter how long ago I might have watched them - I mean, I might need to read my own entry as a refresher about what I said, but I'm still happy to discuss at any time!!
And YES TO "RED MEAT" BEING AWESOME! Man, that was just... everything. Everything I love about Supernatural all in one episode that literally gave me anxiety for the entire episode. Anyway, you can go comment to your hearts content.
Also, I'm all caught up with the podcast again! (Except for No Exit, because you probably JUST put that one up.) So, yay! We've both caught up to each other's current things! ;)
