White linen safari gear - unlined blazer and matching trousers, with shirt and tie from the previous outfit, initially worn with a beige pith helmet.

Worn in Small Game for Big Hunters

Leather hipsters with a white belt, worn with a sleeveless black top. Initially with black and white driving gloves and a white PVC mackintosh.

Worn in Small Game for Big Hunters and in the tag scene of How to Succeed at Murder without the PVC coat.

The leather hipster pants with the white belt are also worn in The Danger Makers with a polo necked blouse which is buttoned up the back, also with Edward Rayne's black & white boots. This is probably the same outfit as in the tag scene of Small Game for Big Hunters (see below), and it's definitely the same outfit as in the tag scene of A Sense of History.

Skimpy floral sarong. This sarong was taken from the unconscious body of one of the villains, and reveals how much taller than other actresses Diana Rigg is - it only just reaches from low on her breasts to the tops of her legs.

She's probably wearing the leather hipsters with polo necked blouse seen above, we only see the blouse on screen.

Steed appears to be wearing a navy peaked cap and greatcoat over a white t-shirt, although where he acquired any of this attire is beyond me.

He wears a light brown suede military-style wind jacket with matching trousers. the jacket has epaulettes and patch pockets with metal stud fastenings, and the jacket zips up.
Underneath he wears a dark collared shirt and mid-tone jumper with probably forest green neck and hem. It must have been cold during filming!

Slate grey double-breasted overcoat, single vent, thick black collar, flat pockets and black leather buttons.

Worn with a black bowler, black leather gloves, black umbrella and black trousers. He's wearing a white shirt and dark tie, but if he's wearing a jacket under the coat I can't tell.

Briefly worn with an Admiral's hat (top right), then with a shiny topper (bottom right) for comic relief.

Worn in The Thirteenth Hole and Quick-Quick Slow Death - this outfit also turns up in the colour season.

Plaid plus fours with a dark rollneck skivvy and soft hat.

Worn in The Thirteenth Hole while Steed's running around the golf course - the hat is revealed to have been lined with a metal band to prevent him dying when shot by a golf ball.
