I think the prop department raided all the local vintage stores for Paul Michael Glaser's "Starsky" wardrobe. I remember the character wearing lots of old leather jackets, an Army M-65 field coat and vintage jeans.

I don't much recall that sort of detail from seeing it back in the day, but is my fuzzy memory correct in that he was supposed to be the less overtly fashionable of the two? Those jackets probably were vintage originals - though back then they were just cheap, old jackets... original 40/50s stuff would have been like us buying 80s and nineties now!

Yes Edward your fuzzy memory is quite correct. Starsky was the rough-around-the-edges, wear-anything, say-anything tough guy. Hutch was a bit more "refined". LOL.
Looking back, most of us would definitely raid Starsky's closet for those original vintage clothes!
