it's true that hermann's clothing aesthetic is mostly something along the lines of "dorky professor," but i think it's really more like 80% dorky professor, 20% military surplus. (that 20% is probably all ppdc gear, but the Aesthetic™ of the ppdc gear is milsurp).
like, hermann's a practical guy. he cares more about the function of his clothes than the appearance (see: glasses cord, oversized parka). he's also been working for the ppdc since he was in his mid-20s. you can't tell me he doesn't own, like, fleece quarter-zip tops in neutral colours and too-big "one size fits all" sweatpants with "P.P.D.C." stamped on the side.
#for pyjamas people are always putting him in pinstripe pyjamas and monogrammed dressing gowns and like#ok yes. love it. however. i do think hes wearing the monogrammed dressing gown over the ppdc quarter zip#it's cozy!#hermann gottlieb#unscientific aside#i loooove the costumes and set design and props in this movie theres so much TEXTURE#also the thing about milsurp is like... idk about the really tactical stuff but the more civilian-ish gear is often slightly awkward#like track pants with no stretch in them. or shorts that are weirdly too short. or a sweater that's a an odd shade of blue#plus theres usually a pretty limited size range so it often doesnt fit anyone quite right#and. idk. i think all of that suits hermann very well. hes also awkward#hes buttoned-up but he isnt polished. you know? like if you compare how he dresses to e.g. how pentecost dresses#pentecost is also buttoned-up but hes sharp and well-tailored and perfectly-groomed#hermann is not really achieving that. concessions have been made to comfort and maybe time investment
