Better Call Saul: 10 Things You Only Notice Rewatching Season 1

10. Gus Fring's Shirt And Tie

While Gustavo Fring doesn't arrive on the scene until Better Call Saul Season 3, he skirts the edges from almost the very beginning. In Season 1's fourth episode "Hero", Jimmy McGill is shopping for a suitably Howard Hamlin-style suit for his local hero billboard scam. Prior to choosing the exact shades of blue that Hamlin would wear, Jimmy browses some other options.

On the first watch, viewers are drawn to the garish orange shirt that Jimmy eyes up. It's an obvious foreshadowing of the more colourful shirts beloved by his alter-ego Saul Goodman. On second viewing, however, another shirt draws the eye. For above the shelves of folded shirts that Jimmy is perusing stands a mannequin chest.

It's nothing out of the ordinary for a gentleman's clothing outfitters, but it's dressed in the yellow shirt and striped tie beloved of Los Pollos Hermanos founder, and criminal kingpin Gustavo Fring. A character with whom, unbeknownst to Jimmy, will cross paths with the criminal lawyer in two seasons' time. It's a subtle reference to how Saul Goodman's story will eventually end and is teased here at a moment of orange shirted temptation.
