Does anyone notice that Scut Farkus wears the same sweater in every scene he appears in?

It makes me wonder if he wears the same clothes every day?

Well i think he was supposed to be a poor kid so probably so.

Except he wore braces, so he couldn't have been that poor. I bet he smelled bad!

He doesn’t seem to have good hygiene.

The director probably had him wear the same outfit so the audience would get familiar with Scut as the villian much quicker. That or they filmed all of Scuts scenes right after another and it was cheaper to just have him wear the same wardrobe. Probably a combination of both.

That's funny I always thought his name was Scott.

I remember when I was a kid in the 70's a kid wore the same sweater for the entire winter. It happens...

Einstein wore the same outfit everyday. Geniuses are like that.

I used to have one pair of sneakers I wore with everything. Kids today have a pair to match every outfit! Ten or fifteen pairs!

I wear the same shirt and pants at work everyday. We aren't required to wear a uniform but I just make it my uniform...they are always clean and that's all that matters.
