Humbug
Wardrobe File

The wardrobe department's file on Humbug: the continuity polaroids of Mulder and Scully with the scene numbers written on them, the breakdown of every costume by scene, the Blue shooting schedule, the Pink cast list and the scene breakdown, all from one binder.

A wardrobe department keeps a binder for every episode: polaroids of each costume as it was shot, so a jacket buttoned in the wide shot is buttoned in the close-up two days later, and the paperwork that tells the department who is on set when. This one survived intact. The scans were shared by @scullywear, who holds the originals. Phone numbers of individuals have been blacked out; the production office line on the letterhead was already public.

Wardrobe polaroids, Mulder and Scully

Continuity polaroids shot on set so the costume could be matched from day to day. The scene number and shooting day are written on each border. Most were shot with the camera tilted to fit a full-length figure into a square frame; they are shown as they were taken.
