The Jackets of James McGill

When it comes to the style of “Slippin’ Jimmy,” two words come to mind: functional and professional. Often times he has been noted to wear simple brown, gray and black pinstripe jackets and suits.

Jimmy McGill (in his early years) has a muted and somewhat subtle sense of fashion compared to the flashy suits and loud colors that his persona (Saul Goodman) is known for (during the time of the events of Breaking Bad).

James is noted to favor double breasted jackets and blazers.

This gray textured sport coat is nearly identical to the one Jimmy has been noted to wear frequently.

Most notably he is known to possess shirts in blue, red, green and pink. Just to name a few.

Analyzing The Footwear of James McGill

When it comes to the subject of Jimmy’s footwear, there are two articles in particular that can be discussed.

The first item is his dark, oftentimes black, dress socks. As is tradition, dark socks are often times worn with a suit, usually up to the knee (or at least covering the shin) so as to minimize the exposure of a man's leg flesh. Which can distract from the overall appearance.

The second article of footwear worth mentioning are Jimmy’s black buckle loafers, which are the shoes he is seen wearing most often, and they are a staple in his wardrobe.

These Italian style slip on loafers by Bruno Marc are surprisingly similar to the shoes Jimmy is noted to wear frequently on Better Call Saul.

His most notable accessories would have to be his signature coffee cup and brown leather briefcase, as well his belt and many neck ties.

This “World’s 2nd Best Lawyer” coffee cup is an exact match to the one James McGill is known to drink from often times.

Here is a brown briefcase that is a great match to the briefcase that he carries for his profession.
