Jason Gutz, sporting the latest in runway-chic summer fashion for resident aliens, pauses outside the garage “set” of the movie “The Obituary Writer.”

His coat, a military surplus find, would have gone well with the cavalry gaiters he almost wore (which didn’t fit over his black boots), the car-manifold chest piece and helmet, made up of random junkyard finds ranging from car parts to plastic stripping from a refrigeration unit, all assembled onto a baseball helmet, were both crafted by director Kevin Jacobs, whose film Gutz is dressed for.

The black jeans and turtleneck worn under the wool coat help to keep Jason steaming hot and sweating profusely, displaying the outfit’s alternate use as a weight-loss aid.
