Project Hail Mary costumer designers David Crossman and Glyn Dillon talked about the end sequence “The fun thing for us for that end sequence was like, his costume, what he would have left over from the ship. The trousers that he's wearing, they're cut from one of the flight suits and he's wearing a belt and we've done a belt buckle that's like made of xenonite that Rocky would have made for him. And all of the sewing on it is a little bit, you know, it's nowhere near as good as Jenny would normally do. So, we had to purposely ask Jenny to do bad sewing from the top of his trousers so it looked like he would have done it. And then our brilliant breakdown department run by Tim Shanahan. They kind of they break everything down to look like it's you know 10, 20 years old. So his cardigan and the t-shirts all faded and even on the laces. Because your laces always break after a certain period of time. So we found stuff that was on the ship like elastics and stuff and there's a nice bit close-up actually in the film so you can see that that they're not normal laces, they're like stuff that he would have got from the ship that he's made as makeshift laces.”

tbh this started as a cosplan design
