He starts out with two suits. Count 'em: two. Then when the 1968 plot starts and presumably Curtis and Co. realized he was a keeper, they enlarged the wardrobe to two more. One of which was brown
Then there were the Hugh Hefner smoking jackets and of course, the cape.
Let me date myself here... what is a CPO and who was Alden Wicks?
Luciaphil,
Let's not forget Barnabas' nifty, classic blue blazer that he occasionally wore. (As for Mr. B.'s depressingly brown suit...yuch!!!)
By the way, I've always admired Barnabas' Hugh Hefner smoking jacket. I would have liked to have seen Dan Curtis develop an adult-oriented, "after-hours" program with Barnabas as the host. Mr. Curtis could have entitled it, "Dark Shadows After Dark," with Barnabas, wearing his smoking jacket and sporting his pipe (a la Hugh Hefner), greeting such comely vixens as Angelique and Minnie Duval to his swinging, Sixties set (just like "Hef" did on the old "Playboy after Dark" show).
I think the term "CPO" has its origins with the US Navy. I'm sure you remember the ugly-@ss shirt/jacket that Joe Haskell wore, seemingly all of the time, when he was searching for the missing/kidnapped Maggie Evans during 1967. That's a CPO!
As to Alden "I Don't Want Any Trouble" Wicks, he's the ill-fated dude who was going to rent his grandfather's deserted house to the late, unlamented John Yaegar for Yaegar's so-called experiment.
