Nelson & Murdock are barely open, they have no money, Foggy talks about money to keep the lights on in the office, right? But I'm familiar with fashion and tailors and the suits Matt Murdock is wearing on the show are bespoke. At the very least he's wearing something made to measure him perfectly. I'm sure it was the costumers who decided to put him in a $3K suit but they... meant to do it, they wanted you to notice it. You can't look at everything about his suits (specifically the one he uses in court) and tell me it wasn't tailored to fit. Look at the bloody light play on the gorgeous finished wool of the jacket, the detail stitching, and the way it fits perfectly across his shoulders but still cuts so sharply to his waist and keeps the correct lengths against his hips and wrists? The slim cut trousers that actually fit his fat butt, narrow waist, and still stretch and drape well over those ridiculous thighs? Costumers tailored that for Charlie, yes, but in-universe who made the suits for Matt? His Oxford button-downs are nice, too. I'd bet money they're some long-loomed fibre anyway, dense but soft. NOT CHEAP. Yknow, that's the thing, look at the way Foggy's suit hangs on him a little, there is some ill-fitted shoulder drop and the oversized thing is happening and that material is obvs cheaper; all interesting and meaningful considering Foggy has much more whimsy and flair in his colour/style than Matt. Foggy is trying to present well with very little money while Matt's fashion sense is very classic, more serviceable and practical, more muted and utilitarian which, yeah, the guy is blind, I get it, so why such a money wardrobe? Daytime armour like the trademark glasses he hides his blind eyes behind? What else were we supposed to get from his expensive suits?
His shoes, otoh, are so cheap leather and soft-soled and don't match his tailored suit at all, and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be because he's blind and/or because he's Daredevil and needs to go parkouring his ass all over the rooftops at any given time and can't be bothered to wear sewn leather welt soles and slippery heels when he's doing it. My question about all this? WHERE is Matt getting the money for all his stuff (AND HIS FLAT, which Matt admits is expensive, and his silk freaking sheets, and and and) if his only job is being a defence lawyer and they have no clients yet? Foggy is crying about money all the time (and we don't even get to see where Foggy lives!) but Matt is not, and it seems Stick took the money Matt's father left him when Matt was a child? Matt doesn't have any family to sport him dosh for uni or anything else; this isn't the Matt in comics where he was struggling super hard in uni for every spare dollar, and this isn't the older Matt in comics who is established as a badass lawyer and making a decent wage (him wearing Jay Kos suits is canon, yo). So where is MCU Matt getting all his money? Did I miss this explanation in the show somehow? Has somebody already asked this question and I missed the answer? I feel like I'm either missing something obvious or I'm the only one looking at his tailoring.
Matt doesn't actually pay Melvin for the Devilsuit, they barter for it, but everything else Matt has, even his accessibility tech and all the canes he tosses away into random dumpsters, it all costs serious money. Foggy even calls Matt on his burnerphone, ffs, because obvs Foggy is paying attention to money like someone who doesn't have any, while Matt seems to have a relationship with money like someone who is used to having it. He should be dressed worse than Foggy; at least Foggy has a mess of family to help him out with money when he needs it. Matt's either a rent boy, a verrry active rent boy, or he has a legit patron helping him out for some reason. I really want to point at an overly-invested sugar daddy somewhere and until someone comes up with a better answer, I'm just sticking to that. But if you guys have any ideas on this, pleeeeease, enlighten me!
