Process:
Since these characters were played by the same actor, I wanted the outfits to be similar but different. Each character has the same pants and shoes but different tops. I chose the tops based on who the characters were: Roy: matenence guy, Mark: school boy, Pete: mourner
Roy
Changes: picked something we had in stock, which was a patterned shirt rather than plaid.
Pete
Changes: picked something out of stock so shirt was a simple pattern
Mark
Changes: couldn't find a decent jacket that wasn't outrageously expensive, switched to a collared shirt
