00:00This is Hopper, season five.

00:01So we found this archived leather jacket from Guest.

00:04We were grateful enough that they recreated the jacket for us

00:07in many multiples, because we need so many.

00:09He wears this as his armor for going into the upside down.

00:12And my inspiration for the shirt and pants of it,

00:16this matches the military pattern of somebody

00:18in the chemical core.

00:20I get over there, I must test well,

00:21and they put me in the chemical core.

00:23In order to kind of infuse that into the character of the pockets,

00:26the placement of the pattern matches a chemical core uniform.

00:29It's not the same color, but I liked

00:30that I could kind of infuse that into the outfit.

00:32Knowing they're in the upside down,

00:33I wanted something dark but light enough

00:35to still stand out in that dark color.

00:38The right side up is usually in regular daylight.

00:40The upside down is in a very cold, blue, dark light.

00:43So sometimes we have to actually physically change the multiples

00:46to match the location.
