Hot on the trail of his possible son, Bill Murray spends most of Broken Flowers wearing a variety of pricey Fred Perry tracksuits. Not exactly typical indie fashion. ''[Director] Jim [Jarmusch] and I decided that Bill's character could afford anything he wanted, but probably only went shopping twice a year,'' says costume designer John Dunn. ''So for his home wear, we wanted something uncomplicated but stylish.'' After trying everything from Hugo Boss to Armani, they settled on the laurel-adorned leisure wear. ''We also liked it because the cut was slender and referenced the '70s, which was the heyday of Bill's character as a young playboy,'' adds Dunn. ''It just felt so right.'' For Perry, so did giving the cast and crew jackets after the film wrapped.
