Introduction

Welcome to Barba's Closet! A dedicated archive of Rafael Barba's outfits worn during his time on Law & Order, and occasional Raúl Esparza news.

Current Status: Complete & queued. Sideblog to @barbaandesparza. This account started as a side blog; I didn't want to remake it, so I made an owner account to link it to; the owner account includes bonus shots, status updates, and random shenanigans related to Barba and Raúl.

Links for each season are on my full page. If you're mobile, you can just search the season or the episode.

Taking a few days off for my mental health.

I know I haven't been posting much since I'm working on the other catalogues, but wanted to note I'm taking a few days off for mental health reasons. Just feeling pretty bleh. And while looking at Rafael isn't a chore, it requires a lot of brain power.

[barbascloset]

Still working on the catalogue. It’s going VERY slowly. Not even done with s14 yet.

Let the games begin

Note: I think I have one more tie catalogue post to go out, and then I will be a little quiet for a few days (or more..) while I deal with the other ones. Yes I have the stuff from the season stats, but this will be far more detailed and will cover all his appearances across 88 eps. Then I've gotta make the graphics. So it'll be a bit.

It’ll be a little bit longer than expected. It takes a lot more brain power for this area, and I’ve been busy with a few other things as well. But it’s coming.

Barba's Tie Catalogue | Part 4

hi just an idea: it would be nice if you could add brand and price to the tie catalogue!

As much as I would love to do this, I cannot reliably find information on the brands. There have been a few I’ve looked for just because I personally love them, and I can’t find them. There are also some that are fairly basic, like his rare few solid ties, or his micro diamond ties, that would be impossible to pinpoint which, since I have no connection with the wardrobe department.

Do you guys want a coat/shirt catalogue? If so, which would you want me to start with?

The tie catalogue is finished!

It's finished and queued. The guest star stats go out tomorrow, and then the catalogue is 6 posts, each will go out daily, as per usual.

I'm fairly certain I don't have any repeats. Note that a few of his ties are extremely similar. I've done my best to ensure I don't miss any and to avoid duplicates.

I may potentially do coats and shirts next. And possibly tie squares if I'm feeling extra ambitious. If there's anything else you guys want to see, let me know.
