Tom Collins: Research

           

Tom Collins' outfit from the Broadway musical RENT is a collection of found modern pieces with the apropos boho flair. For pictures of more RENT characters, including Collins, check out my RENT graphics site The Boho Girls.

Note: Tom Collins does have a few costume changes through the course of the play, but I've only studied his Act One costume.

Clothing - Tom Collins wears a long sleeve button-down denim shirt with a white t-shirt underneath. The denim shirt is left untucked and over it, is a neon orange vest with multiple pockets. He also wears dark blue jeans, and dark brown or black boots. Also, he has a cream knit skull cap (these actually have a name, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is).

Outerwear - Like Mark and Roger, Collins does have a coat for 'outdoor' scenes, but during Act One, the coat is stolen when Collins is mugged. The coat is dark green and has a detachable sleeve (theatre trick).

Accessories/Props - Angel. ;)
