For Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm), costume designer Carlos Rosario created three distinctive changes in wardrobe that reflected the character's shifting fortunes. "When Jon Hamm's character is in Beirut the first time in the early '70s, he's extroverted, almost like he's showing off," Rosario said. "That's why we put him in party duds with the off-white suit. I felt like this cocktail party was his territory. He was in control." Ten years later, Mason's outfits signal his slide into alcoholism as a demoralized, backroom labor negotiator. "It was important for me to create a disheveled, deconstructed type of mishmash of different things in order to communicate the fact that Mason's life is falling apart," Rosario said. "Then when he comes back to Beirut, I wanted the audience to focus on the character and plot more than his wardrobe, so I went with very classic jackets and shirts."
