Pink in Reservoir Dogs, Seth Gecko “completes” his suit with black denim jeans rather than traditional trousers. In fact, Seth foregoes a traditional shirt altogether, building the effect of a black three-piece suit over his white ribbed cotton sleeveless undershirt like a ’90s-era Al Swearengen.ĭespite the wear and tear of a bloody night at the Titty Twister, Seth’s dusty waistcoat remains fully buttoned, a testament to its solid construction.
