Game of Thrones,” one of the most expensive shows ever made,

HBO’s Game of Thrones is one of the most expensive television shows in history, with the budget for recent seasons reportedly more than $10 million per episode. On costumes alone, there’s a team of 80 to 100 people who labor to get every patch of embroidery and scuffed knight’s jacket just right.
So it is surprising to learn from the show’s costumer that some of its materials are sourced in downmarket places.
