My Challenge:

Find me another figure, in reality or fiction, who always wears this look.


 * 1) David Lynch has worn ONLY this look in public for decades.


 * 1) Is there any figure nearly as well-known as David Lynch who is known for wearing this look exclusively? I say, no.


 * 1) Twin Peaks is an inspiration and repeatedly a source of allusion for Gravity Falls:


 * Gideon took Mabel to the restaurant with Black Lodge/Red room elements like the zig-zag floor pattern in "The Hand that Rocks the Mabel".
 * The end credits of "Dreamscaperers" are a tribute to the opening credits sequence of Twin Peaks.


 * The title "Not What He Seems" is taken from the mysterious and important Twin Peaks phrase, "The owls are not what they seem."


 * The opening credits of both Twin Peaks and Gravity Falls prominently feature a scenic waterfall in the Pacific Northwest forest.


 * One brief segment of the opening credits which has been removed in the shorter version used in the second season shows an (animated) time-lapse Image of trees in a row in the forest as the sun moves behind them, shifting their shadows. Made_me_realize_bigfoot.png David Lynch had a website over a decade ago, he included a number of short film experiments. Several of these were time lapse images of the shadows shifting in exactly this fashion. Time-lapse techniques have been used by others, much more famously in the film Koyaanisqatsi. David Lynch has no monopoly on this technique; however, given the Gravity Falls' creators awareness of David Lynch's work, I am comfortable deciding that this is the source - but I don't expect anyone else to ever be convinced enough to include the observation in a wiki.

As far as I can tell, these are the only two figures who we see, day in and day out, working in public wearing the same black suit with white shirt - so the Gravity Falls Wiki should acknowledge the inspiration for Stan Pines' dress style.
