   What is it that makes the difference?  Does a real 40s suit look fake on   
   camera, so that they need a not-quite-authentic version which looks "on   
   film" to be more authentic than the real deal itself?  Like using dry ice   
   because real fog photographs with too smokelike an appearance to be   
   convincing or something like that?
