The Tailor
Something that always puzzled me in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.1 was the ravager uniforms the Guardians wore to the final battle. Where did they get those clothes?
For Peter, the answer is obvious. He used to be part of the clan, Yondu probably kept a few of his outfits in case he came back.
As for Drax, he has a build that's similar to a lot of the ravagers. It wouldn't be hard to find an extra pair of pants.
But for Gamora and Rocket? On the scenes with the ravagers, there aren't any women. And even if there was one, or that there used to be one, what are the chances of her having the exact same dimensions as Gamora? That uniform is so form-fitting, it looks tailored! Right down to the cup size! And Rocket??? No one that we've seen on the Ravager team could even come close to Rocket's dimensions.
Now, we could theorize that those are smart clothes. As someone who studies electronics, I could imagine two ways of making self-adjusting clothes.
The first would be to be able to input your dimensions before putting on the clothes. But that would require some kind of input panel, which would be impractical. You could argue that this could be small and/or flexible and sewn inside the clothes. However, you still need to be able to interact easily with the panel, so you cannot make it too small. On top of that, we see that the Ravager job can get pretty physical. It would be rather impractical for your clothes to change size all of a sudden because you got punched in the worng place (and if it broke, it could worsen your injury). What's more, to get such a well-fitting product, you'd need to know exactly all your dimensions. I doubt anyone knows their exact dimensions.
The second, more practical idea is to sew in sensors. Once the clothes are zipped, that triggers a switch. The clothes then adjust themselves until they feel equal contact with the skin or an evenly distributed (pre-determined by the manufacturer) tension in the fabric. But three things make me doubt this:
We see them put on the clothes . If they were self-adjusting, we would see Gamora's jacket adjust itself while she put it on.
We see the clothes damaged . This would probably cause some kind of malfunction, but the clothes stay the same size.
Rocket's clothes have a hole for his tail. Tails don't seem common in clothes-wearing folks of the MCU, but the ravagers somehow have an outfit to accomodate such a need?
To further discredit the idea of self-adjusting clothes, we go to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2. At around 59:15, Taserface tells one of his goons "Take [Groot] to the tailor."
Seeing how much of a time crunch they were in in the first volume, I doubt a regular tailor, even one with sophisticated machines, could make such nice-fitting clothes in such a small amount of time. So I have two theories.
The first theory is that the tailor is a machine of some kind. You step into a cabin that scans you in a few positions. Then you choose a model you like, maybe add some extra pockets or something. It then cuts the leather with a laser (yes, you can do that) and sews everything thanks to a flexible programming. It could still take a few minutes for everything to be ready (and possibly need additional time to cool down), but it makes more sense than some regular person (even master of its craft) accomplishing it as fast as it seems to be in Vol.1.
The second theory is that somehow, the ravagers have some kind of impossibly intelligent, nearly omnipotent (in some areas) being in their ship for the sole purpose of making clothes.
Now, you may ask yourself: "If they have such a powerful being with them, why don't they use it to a more profitable end?" Imagine a demi-god took residence in your ship. It says "I will make clothes for you in exchange for food and the occasional physical item. Just provide me with the equipment and material." That guy could kill you and your crew fairly quickly and efficiently if you cross it. Making him steal or kill for you is probably not a smart decision. So why keep this deal? You're a ravager. You go through clothes pretty quickly with all the violence you see on a daily basisin your line of work. Clothes of the quality this tailor gives you are expensive. Fabric, thread and leather? Less expensive. Even with the extra food and occasional book or video game to buy, it's still cheaper (and more practical) to keep this powerful being onboard.
You may also ask yourself: "Why would a powerful being go for such a deal?" Imagine some crabs came up to you and offered you free food and shelter forever and whatever object you want. All you have to do is occasionally scribble something on a post-it, maybe add some glitter or glue some pasta on it. Bonus, you get to travel with them to wherever they need to go. It might not be the thing for you, but to some, it's a pretty sweet deal. Plus, you can walk away if the deal no longer pleases you.
The machine theory is more plausible, but I like the idea of a demi-godlike being just minding his own business on his part of the ship, sometimes making clothes.
Plus, imagine waking up and finding out your previous crew of 50-100 crabs is nearly completely gone and there are some new guys, some less new guys, but less than a dozen crabs on your now much smaller ship. And the crabs explain to you that they killed the rest of the crew and battled a sentient ocean who is the father of this one crab. And they lost the crab captain in the process. And also shrimps were after them, but not really, anyway, they were defeated. And if you could please make the funeral bands you usually makes, it would mean a lot to them. Here's your breakfast by the way.

The thing in Gurdians of the Galaxy is that they don't really care about being good. They just want to be with their little band of misfits and accidentally saving the galaxy in the process.
In GOTG 1, they have no other choice bc they don't want to die.
In GOTG 2, Quill just wanted a dad. The dad happens to be an egomaniac.
In Endgame, Rocket and Nebula just wanted to bring their family back.
In GOTG 3, they just wanted to save a friend.
And their selfishness is what makes them more human than any superhero movie... though only .5 of them is actually human 😭
