Default Outfit

"This is the heister's default outfit with the selected armor."

—Inventory description.

The Default Outfit is the heisters' default appearance in most heists.

The Striped Troublemaker

	You know the deal. Say it once, say it twice, third time's the charm. And remember... he'll steal anything you want him to steal, he'll hack anything you want him to hack. So say his name, and he'll trade you from custody. Bain! Bain! B... THIS IS A COMMUNITY ITEM!
The Striped Troublemaker, added in update #198, is an outfit unlocked by joining the PAYDAY 2 Steam Group.

The Prime

	Hoxton was once chased by three squad cars in New York after a nighttime hit went bad. Covered in enemy blood, he threw his mask and gun in the gutter and headed for his favorite nightclub to lay low in. (He also needed a drink, badly.) On the way, he spotted this suit in a store window. Realizing he'd never be able to stay hidden looking like he did, Hox broke in and had a quick change of wardrobe. By the time first squad car rounded the corner, Hoxton was already chatting up the women standing in line to go clubbing, suave as ever. He stared right into the searchlight as the car passed... the driver never recognizing his quarry. THIS IS AN ANNIVERSARY 2020 ITEM!
The Prime outfit was added in update #199.6.

Saints & Sinners

	If you think about it, the Payday Gang has it kind of easy. They just have to fight the cops, the feds, and all the sheeple standing in their way to heisting greatness and loot. Sure, they encounter the occasional oddity, but nothing along the lines of what the Saint's Row crew does. Seriously- aliens, conspiracies, portals to hell? How do you get anything done with all that to deal with? So, as a sign of respect, from one famous crew to another, you can don these threads and spread good vibes throughout the criminal underworld. THIS IS A SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD REMASTERED ITEM!
The Saints & Sinners outfit, added in update #207.1, is unlocked by owning either Saints Row: The Third or Saints Row: The Third Remastered on Steam.

Cable Guy

	Maybe you wanna be the kind of person who thinks "someone has to kill the babysitter", or maybe you just want to get into the board room unnoticed, to steal whatever isn't locked down. Either way, this ensemble will do you right.
The Cable Guy outfit was added in update #207.

Impresario

	Death, symbolised in the white threads of this getup, is where all Cartel bosses end up, when their sins catch up to them.
The Impresario outfit was added in update #200. It is unlocked by completing the Buluc's Mansion heist on the OVERKILL difficulty or above.

Dragon Bomber

Gotta hand it to 'em. Some of those triad guys have a knack for turning a tired old cliché of a gangster-getup and making it cool again, without taking away the comfort you need while doing all those unscrupulous activities that a gangster does. And they do it without even really trying. This isn't something you're gonna see in a bad 1970s Kung Fu movie. No, siree. Modern cut, space-age fabrics, the works.

The Dragon Bomber outfit was added in update #204. The Dragon Bomber Black variation was added in update #208, with the original design being given the name Dragon Bomber Contrast.

Dragon Bomber Contrast You just know the rich kids beg mommy and daddy to get this for them to wear to the high school football game.
Dragon Bomber Black Somber with a spark of color, like the sun cutting through a cloudy sky.

The Minstrel

The complexities of constructing a proper mariachi suit should not be overlooked. Some are deceptively simple, but underneath, there often lies an intricate level of craftsmanship handed down through generations.

The Minstrel outfit was added in update #199 Mark II, it and its variations unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on certain difficulties.

	Midnight Serenade Wolf walked into the record store, fully intent on buying, (as in actually paying for), the latest album by his favorite band. As the door closed behind him, a look of seldom-seen horror crossed his face. There wasn't a 12-inch cardboard record sleeve in sight! With a snarl, he stomped up to the track-suit wearing douchebag at the counter and grabbed his collar. "Where are the fucking records?", he growled from under his beard. The poor guy managed to mumble something about CDs being superior to vinyl, whereupon Wolf proceeded to shoot many holes in the "superior" discs of plastic lining the shelves... Unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on any difficulty.
	Dust Devil After coming home from military service, Chains needed a place to disappear, a city where he could lose himself for a bit. Someone told him that San Franscisco(sic) was great for that, but they didn't think about all the grunge bands there. And we all know how much Chains just looooooves grunge bands, right? Especially shitty ones. Yeah, Chains didn't last long in SF. So, he went south for a bit, and got a small taste of working as a stunt man in Mexico City during a mariachi festival, before fate revealed other plans for him. To date, no one has ever asked him if he liked corridos... Unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on the Hard difficulty or above.
	Skin of the Saint There's a story behind the soft cotton fabric that makes up this suit. The weaver who made it traveled with by mule(sic) for five days in order to reach a waiting seamstress in time to have her to finish it before the Day of the Dead, in honor of his deceased daughter. Sharing what little food and water he had with his beast of burden, he battled harsh roads, storms and bandits, until finally reaching his destination. In the festivities that followed, the weaver swore that he heard his daughter's laugh in the air. Unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on the OVERKILL difficulty or above.
	Teotihuacan Tales tell of a deadly desert spider, whose intricate web creates an eerie howling sound when hit by the wind. Some say the web captures the lamentations of all the lost souls killed in gunfights, others say the simply conjure the angry voices of the ancient Mayan gods, decrying the current state of the world. Unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on the Death Wish difficulty or above.
	Calavera The desperado took a rose from the bouquet that adorned the embalmed body of his dead lover. He swore vengeance on the cartel member who took her life. In her memory, he had the rose embroidered onto the suit he would wear while claiming justice for his loss. Unlocked by completing the San Martín Bank heist on the Death Sentence difficulty.

Murkywater Uniform

	A military uniform used by Murkywater mercenaries. It includes a patch with the Murkywater logo.
The Murkywater Uniform, added in update #193, replaces the heisters' default outfits in The White House heist until they enter the secret area. It is unlocked for use on all heists via the Identity Theft achievement.

Repairman

	When in doubt, always go the repairman route. It may be the most braindead setup in countless sleazy movies, and a generator of trashy innuendos, but it'll get you in just about anywhere. Most folks will go nuts if they can't use their toilet or TV, and the rich just gotta have their pools in tip-top shape. The Pool Guy (or Gal) is usually a welcome visitor. It's a rather practical outfit too, with plenty of pockets, and flexibility for maneuvering in tight spaces. And in those cases when you need to draw in water to crack a safe, who's going to argue?
The Repairman outfit, added in update #199, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Counterfeit heist. It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Counterfeit heist on any difficulty.

Raincoat

	A classic yellow raincoat that helps keep its wearer dry. The bright color also improves traffic safety when heavy rain impairs visibility.
The Raincoat outfit, added in update #141, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Green Bridge heist. It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Green Bridge heist on any difficulty.

Scrubs

This is the kind of protective clothing a surgeon wears on hospital duty. Scrubs tend to use soothing colors that also allows staff to easily observe any stains of blood or other body fluids.

The Scrubs outfit, added in update #192, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the No Mercy heist upon completing the "play doctor" objective in stealth.

It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the No Mercy heist on any difficulty.

The Scrubs' appearance on Dallas, Hoxton, Sokol, and Hila.

The Scrubs' appearance on Wolf, John Wick, Bodhi, Sydney, Rust, Sangres, and Joy.

The Scrubs' appearance on Chains, Dragan, Jacket, Bonnie, and Ethan.

The Scrubs' appearance on Houston, Clover, Jiro, Jimmy, Scarface, and Duke.

Tactical BDU

This is a stealth suit. It's comfortable for silent movement, and its soft, black material helps the wearer blend into the darkness during night operations. It has utility pockets for ammo and equipment.

The Tactical BDU, added in update #163, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Diamond Heist and Hell's Island.

It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Diamond Heist on any difficulty.

The Tactical BDU's appearance on the majority of all heisters.

The Tactical BDU's appearance on Clover, Sydney, Hila, and Joy.

The Tactical BDU's appearance on Bonnie and Ethan.

The Tactical BDU's appearance on Rust and Sangres.

Tuxedo

A traditional dinner suit for formal occasions. It has a distinctive black and white design, including the signature black tie.

The Tuxedo, added in update #185, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Shacklethorne Auction heist.

It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Shacklethorne Auction heist on any difficulty.

The Tuxedo's appearance on most heisters.

The Tuxedo's appearance on Dallas and Jiro.

The Tuxedo's appearance on Bonnie and Sydney.

Winter Camo Parka

	This is a full suit sporting military winter camouflage. The idea is to reduce visibility in snow.
The Winter Camo Parka, added in update #161, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Alaskan Deal heist. It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Alaskan Deal heist on any difficulty.

Legacy Tactical

	Never say no to a good tactical vest and combat pants. With lots of pockets. You can never have enough pockets. Early in the career of the Payday gang, Chains spent the better part of two months getting this suit together, testing, configuring and researching to make sure it would perform optimally during a heist. Now, so many years later, it has changed very little and is still a favorite getup to use on a physically demanding heist.
The Legacy Tactical outfit, added in update #199.3, replaces the heisters' default outfits in the Slaughterhouse heist. It is unlocked for use on all heists by completing the Slaughterhouse heist on any difficulty.

Dapper Dashing Holiday

T'was the heist before Christmas, and all through the vault. Not a tumbler was stirring, and it was all Locke's fault. He forgot to pack the drills in the bags with care, but didn't notice until the heisters were already there. While Twitch sat a'waiting, all snug in the van, Jimmy smashed in a window, just because he can. On Clover! On Sangres! On Jacket and Wick! Not a single heister truly believed, that Vlad's brother-in-law was really Saint Nick. THIS IS A CHRISTMAS 2019 UPDATE ITEM

The Dapper Dashing Holiday outfit was added in update #199.

	Elf Extravaganza Smoke billows from the stone chimney of the small cabin sitting alone in the snowy forest. It's quiet, and all we can hear are the dry branches of hibernating trees rustling in the frosty wind. Somewhere in the distance, a family of deer huddles in a cave for warmth and protection from predators. But on this night, the Wolf is not out for food. He sits alone by the fire in his cabin, a cup of cold mead in his hand, contemplating all he has been through in his time as a heister.
	Smashin' Rudolph Duke had downed one too many a brandy this holiday eve. His head swooned as he tried to reassemble the antique British revolver Hoxton had gifted him, as one of his cats sitting on a stool next to the table, watching intently.(sic) With a loud 'FOING', the trigger spring flew across the room, with the cat dashing after it. Both disappeared into the branches of the safe house Christmas tree, making it topple. It fell over the top floor railing, landing with a loud crash down below, followed by an "Aaargh!" and a shout of "The fuck is goin' on up there?". A couple of minutes later, Chains came stomping up the stairs, Santa hat on his head, and hand over his face. He wasn't too happy. He removed his hand, revealing a big, swollen nose, as crimson as on a certain reindeer, as if it had been smashed by the trunk of the falling tree...
	Miracle Blues Sydney leaned out of the alley and watched as the police car passed, blue and red lights flashing, siren blaring. She adjusted the bag full of loot she was carrying, then picked up her phone and dialed. "Yeah?", came a voice on the other end. "It's me. Corner of 34th. Coast is clear, so get over here", she replied, then hung up and waited. The wind howled, snow swirling through the alley as she looked into the darkness and grumbled anxiously. A few minutes later, a van pulled up. The driver got out and greeted her. "Where's the package?" They walked into the alley and she pointed to a pile of boxes, on which lay a dog, nursing a litter of puppies. Sydney pulled out a huge wad of cash, handing it to the driver, saying "You know what to do, mate". The driver took the money and replied "You got it, no worries. I'll make sure they're kept safe."
	Rusty Santa His bike was broken. What a time to get stuck in the middle of nowhere. He was gonna miss the safe house Christmas party for sure. None of Jiro's Sake-Eggnog for Rust this year. Fuck. He grabbed his bag and started walking. The sun began to set over the snowy landscape. As he passed a run-down farmhouse, a wrenching scream came from inside. Rust hesitated. Not his business. Through a window, he could see someone on the floor, so he rushed inside to find an elderly lady who had fallen while decorating her tree. After helping her up, and tending to her injuries, he stayed for tea. Turns out there was an old classic bike, still working, in her barn, he was welcome to borrow. Maybe he wasn't going to miss that party after all...

Dirty Santa

	Let's face it people, if Santa ever comes down your chimney wearing this thing, he's not gonna be bringing you anything nice. And he's likely to help himself to more than milk and cookies. But hey, as Bain used to say- "'tis the season for taking!" THIS IS A CHRISTMAS 2020 UPDATE ITEM!
The Dirty Santa outfit was added in update #201.

Ho Ho Heister

	Santa's elves have gone on strike! No toys are being made in the North Pole this year! Spread the joy and help Santa by wearing his suit as you take "donations" from all the nice banks, jewelery(sic) stores and safe depositories around the country, so that no little heister gets coal in their stocking! THIS IS A CHRISTMAS 2020 UPDATE ITEM!
The Ho Ho Heister outfit was added in update #201.

The Showman

Distraction can be the heister's best tool, and the right outfit can accomplish just that, making the enemy wonder what the hell is going on. "Is the circus in town? What kind of clown carries a gun?" With that in mind, there's no reason you can't do it with a little style and colorful flair. Hence this rather spiffy getup; it'll make you feel like the prince of crime. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 1 ITEM!

The Showman outfit was added in update #198 as part of the Tailor Pack 1 DLC.

	Disturbing Violet He wandered into town from nowhere. An unknown psychopath. No one knows his name or origin. Rumors say he was the first person ever to kill a gangster with a pencil. If ever you get the chance to speak to him, you'll believe that rumor. And his clothes... his clothes... those of a madman, or a theatrical genius? You be the judge.
	Professor White Duke once had a university professor who always wore white suits with colorful vests and shirts. He ended up being a mentor of sorts, as it was revealed that the professor was involved in a large-scale smuggling ring that bought rare artwork and gave it to the university museum. When the story broke, the scandal was huge, and the university almost went under. The professor, his well-intended but highly-illegal plans ruined, disappeared and was never heard from again. Duke sometimes wears this suit, similar to his, to honor his memory.
	The Crimson Comic The heister put on the suit that so many famous crooks before him had worn. Pretty big shoes to fill, even for a clown, with a mask that is as personal as it gets. But life had pummeled him into submission so many times, he was ready for it. So who was this heister? Who was crazy enough to don a suit so colorful it would be an instant bullseye for any cops taking aim?
	The Black & White Split Left and right, death and life, pleasure and the endless mental mutilation that comes with walking around with a split personality. Hey, at least you always have someone to argue with...
	Vintage Black Once upon a time, there was a Little Old Wolf, who was part of a merry band of thieves. The Wolf was a rather angry, unstable fellow, given to bouts of violence, posing as little old ladies and had a craving for gold. One day, an idea popped into the Wolf's head: he stole a black velvet suit and used it to try and infiltrate a local university lecture, thinking there would be lots of rich folks he could separate from their wealth. But alas, on the way in, he ran afoul of the gardener, who raised the alarm, forcing the Wolf to flee back to his cave.

The Classic

Certain career-making heists demand a lot extra from the gear you bring to the job. Mobility and durability can be the things that keep a heister from landing in handcuffs and this outfit was made to stop that from happening. A one-piece base, with a reinforced utility vest, it lets the wearer tackle a variety of terrain and movement while supplying ample carrying aids. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 1 ITEM!

The Classic outfit was added in update #198 as part of the Tailor Pack 1 DLC.

	Grey Heat Very few people could drop everything in their lives if they spotted the heat around the corner. Dallas, in his younger days, once thought he could, and it almost cost him both his sanity and his freedom. He was wearing a jumpsuit just like this at the time, and it proved to be the one thing that saved him that day.
	Overkill Red So, what's the deal with heisters taking their nicknames from cities around the world? Coincidence? Are they lazy? Do they lack imagination? Or is there something larger afoot, all part of some unknown grand plan, hatched by Bain back in the day. And what's next, a heister named after Lubbock, Texas? Or maybe Tokyo? Feels like overkill, doesn't it? How far can the trend go? And will it continue in Chapter 3? Those who live to tell may learn the answer.
	Chain's Camo Somewhere in the safehouse (don't bother looking) is a coffer owned by Chains that contains items of sentimental value to him. Among those items, is a jumpsuit just like this. He takes it out on special occasions, and is very protective of it, for some reason; heisters that have been caught "borrowing" it have been rewarded by a properly delivered knuckle sandwich.
	Dust Devil Sienna The Payday gang has, to date, not taken on many jobs in the South- never mind south of the border! But in case that should change in the future, Locke has stockpiled a good number of these suits, which will offer good protection from dusty plains.
	Bucket of Blue There once was a crook named Steve, who had a plan up his sleeve. With his gang of friends, they started a trend, that didn't last very long. They robbed a bank, as more than just a prank, wearing blue jumpsuits that were greater, than your everyday ordinary painter. Keeping hostages at bay, they forced them to play, until someone demolished the floor, hoping the cops wouldn't come through the door.

The Sunny Rico

Protection is, of course, just as much about going unnoticed as it is stopping bullets. The roomy folds of 1980s style suits offer ample concealment for weapons, and the variety of fabrics means you can adjust to the weather as needed. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 1 ITEM!

The Sunny Rico outfit was added in update #198 as part of the Tailor Pack 1 DLC.

	Sky Blue One time, Sangres was escorting a shipment of stolen weapons by plane between Brazil and Mexico when his partner, who was wearing this suit, turned on him mid-flight. After a brief struggle, Sangres kicked him out of the cargo bay door. As his (now ex-) partner fell screaming, arms flailing wildly, Sangres couldn't help but notice how the blue of the suit was great camouflage against the bright blue sky. Then he went "splat" on the ground, and the look was ruined.
	Disco White There's a rumor that buried somewhere in the archives of the Miami PD, there exists a photograph of Dallas wearing a suit just like this and driving around in an open-top Falcogini Model F. Of course, it's just a rumor. Dallas will deny everything if you mention it near him. And every time it happens, an unknown perpetrator tries to flood, burn, blow up or otherwise destroy the basement of the precinct house where those archives are kept...
	Cadillac Pink Rust once wore this suit on a dare, while on a job in Ding Dong, Texas, doing recon on the local Overkill MC chapter. He got a lot of odd looks when he entered a local watering hole, but not a soul dared say anything or give him trouble. When a man walks around Texas wearing a suit like this, the world knows he ain't afraid of anything!
	Swamp Grey Jimmy remains convinced that this suit would be great camouflage for avoiding alligators in the Florida Everglades. Hoxton has dared him to put it to the test, offering up $20000 if he proves himself right. He hasn't done it yet, but every time someone brings it up in the safe house he just waves it off and says "Soon mate, maybe tomorrow."
	The Black Celebration Heisters don't cry, and very few of them wear mascara, but it stands to reason that just about anyone has, at one time or another, reveled in their secret inner Goth. Or maybe not. Maybe they just don't want to have to color-coordinate.

The Casual Formal

The suit a heister wears occasionally needs to provide a modicum of formal respect, while still being casual and workmanlike. This combination of denim lower and more strict upper takes the best of both worlds and combines them. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 1 ITEM!

The Casual Formal outfit was added in update #198 as part of the Tailor Pack 1 DLC.

	The Grey Redeemer Long ago, a dark shadow crept through the criminal underworld, killing the vilest mobsters in serial acts of untold violence. Fear engulfed the crime lords of America- no one knew when vengeance would come for them. A very small number of individuals managed to catch a glimpse of this roaming terror, yet could not say if it was one demon or many. The only description to come was of the suit that death wore- it was just like this one.
	Godfather's White Lie The mob boss walked into the restaurant with his family, ready to sit down for a nice meal following a week of ordering the bloody end to a rival gang. Little did he know that the sole survivor of that gang was waiting for him in the bathroom. Before the mob boss could take his coat off, the survivor put a bullet in his back, ending the feud forever.
	Bullet Brown Sunlight glinted off the deep green paint of the V8-powered roadster as it roared down the highway, pursued by no less than ten police cruisers. Back and forth they weaved, between the crowded city streets of San Francisco. A single bead of sweat trickled down the neck of the driver, distracting her just enough to crash the car into a curb on the (in)famous Lombard Street. With the cops still in pursuit, she got out of the car and ran. No one knows what exactly happened after that, but rumors say they lost her somewhere in Chinatown and the last thing they saw was the shine of her brown coat as she disappeared into the crowd.
	Workman's Blues Sokol once knew a construction worker named Dmitri. They used to watch hockey together in the same bar, week after week. This coat reminds Sokol of those days because Dmitri had one just like it. His was worn and frayed around the edges, with spots of dirt and dust from heavy toil. Yet he wore it with dignity, every little spot having a story to tell about a life of proud work.
	Trophy Black A famous bounty hunter once wore a jacket like this every single day for ten years. For many years this person hounded Bain, long before Crimenet was created. Ultimately, when said bounty hunter's luck ran out and he was taken down by Bain, he kept the jacket as a trophy.

The Avenging Gunman

There are tales of wandering gunmen, dressed as musicians. Gunmen that fight against injustice, taking revenge for tragedies that have affected those who are not capable of doing so themselves. Yeah, that description doesn't really apply to the Payday Gang, does it? THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 2 ITEM!

The Avenging Gunman outfit was added in update #199 Mark II as part of the Tailor Pack 2 DLC.

	Dark Gunslinger Rust stood face-to-face with his aggressor. Both men stared down the barrel of their opponent's gun. Time stood still as the sun beat down on their brows. Rust began to carefully shift his trigger-finger, feeling sweat in the palm of his gun hand. Suddenly, a crow landed between the gunmen. It looked them both over, as if passing judgment on who would live through the next few minutes. It cawed at Rust, tilting its head. He pulled the trigger, ending his opponent.
	Silverado A lone figure on his horse rode into town, a holster at his side, and a guitar slung over his shoulder. The frayed hemlines of his white suit betrayed a long journey through over dusty roads.(sic) Next to his horse, in-step, walked a coyote, its long legs languidly pawing at the earth as it moved. The figure stopped outside a run-down bar and pulled out his gun, aiming into the building through the open front door. He fired. A scream was heard, prompting the coyote to rush inside. A few seconds later, the coyote came back, dragging the corpse of a thuggish-looking fellow. The figure climbed down, threw the lifeless body over the back of the horse and made off towards the sheriff's office...
	Blood Marker The gunslinger dropped to the ground, his last breath blowing up sand from the cracked, dry ground. Nearby, a scorpion watched him expire with indifference. As the buzzards began to circle above, a shadow fell over the body, an unknown figure bending down over it. A weathered, leathery hand reached down and picked up the gunslinger'(sic) pistol. Cold, blue eyes inspected the worn gunmetal steel. Satisfied, the figure which the eyes belonged to got up, and walked away, disappearing over the horizon.
	The Sage When Sangres was a child, a traveling band of mariachi came to his town. Fascinated by the trumpet player, he summoned courage enough to approach and talk to him, asking how he one day could become a musician. The mariachi said: "You need to practice, little man. Every day, all day. It must become your life, your soul, your lover." Well, Sangres never became a mariachi, but he did take the musician's advice to heart, through his various... careers.
	Bad Blue Hombre Dallas walked up to the stage and grabbed a guitar from the hands of its owner. The guitarist began to protest, but the I'll-fucking-kill-you stare coming from the heister was enough to shut him up. With a firm grip on the fretboard, Dallas went for the bar, where a leather-vested thug was harassing a young girl. Before anyone could react, Dallas smashed the guitar over the thug's head, wood splinters creating deep gashes into his face as he fell down screaming. Dallas turned to leave, grabbing an errant bottle of liquor as he did, leaving the bleeding thug unconscious on the floor. Who said chivalry was dead?

The Boom Bap

The rhythm of the oppressed, a savage rage that brews from the intellectual musings of urban street poets, trying to be heard about the noise of the inner city. The voices of the ghetto will echo forever, and the walls of the social prison will crumble, to open the floodgates of a new day. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 2 ITEM!

The Boom Bap outfit was added in update #199 Mark II as part of the Tailor Pack 2 DLC.

	Heistmaster Flash Three gangsta types surrounded Jiro in the alley, spouting racial slurs at him as they demanded his wallet. If they only knew, the amount of hurt they were bringing on themselves, and their entire gang. Jiro showed patience. He was needed elsewhere and didn't have time to delay by kicking the asses of three overconfident morons. Alas, there was no reasoning with them. A few minutes later, Jiro emerged from the alley alone. From the alley could be heard the dying whimpers of the wannabe gangstas, their blood mingling with the asphalt as it trickled down into the storm drains...
	Hippity Hop Garth had the good sense to avoid wearing pants like these while riding his skateboard. How bad would it look if, while running an errand for the Payday gang, his pants got caught in the wheels of his board, making him fall and crash into oncoming traffic or something!
	Shizzle Duds Marvin hadn't eaten for days. Fucking Snoopfather gang had raided his house, taken the last of his cash (which had been cleverly hidden in a fake head of lettuce, of course). He thought about the grumbling void in his stomach as he made his way into Snoopfather territory, bent on revenge...
	Krushin' Groovy Never had the world seen such a war. Two sides, poised to destroy the other with aural weapons of mass destruction. Metal vs Hip hop. The ultimate showdown. Who would prevail? The group wearing zebra tights or the one with their pants on backwards?
	Shady Wu Sirens blared as the Urban Kung Fu Master made his way across the rooftops. Time was running out. His heartbeat pulsed in his ears with a steady groove, every footfall of his white sneakers adding to the rhythm. Up ahead, a large gap between the buildings. On the other side, hanging from a chimney, was the prize he had been sent to retrieve. He braced for the jump. Time to go airborne, crane-style...

The Altamont

Back when this was in style, heisting was a much simpler affair. Hacking was carried out with a blade, and the raw skill of a gunman, safecracker or getaway driver was all the more important. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 2 ITEM!

The Altamont outfit was added in update #199 Mark II as part of the Tailor Pack 2 DLC.

	Gimme Shelter Chains floored the accelerator on the 1968 cabriolet, taking his pride and joy up to 88mph as it kicked up dust, barreling down the highway through Death Valley. He hoped there was enough gas in the tank. In the back, Hoxton snored loudly, an empty bottle of single malt rolling around on the floor by his feet. In the rearview, blue flashing lights in the distance, getting closer. Nowhere to run. Chains slowed the car, keeping it just under 55. The lights came closer. A siren could be heard above the roar of the engine too, as the State Patrol Cruiser came up behind them. To Chains' surprise, the cop car simply passed by, apparently looking for other quarry.
	Lizard King The den was full of smoke. Pale sunlight cut through the dirty windows, throwing shadows that seemed to dance for the gathering. All were waiting for the Lizard King to arrive. The door opened and there he stood, silhouetted against the light. A reflection caught the corner of his eye, bouncing back to his retina, creating a reptilian glow. What had he seen in the desert?
	California Dreaming The crowd screamed at the devils on the stage. Four howling demons of grinding noise and feedback loops. An ecstasy of light and sound. So entranced were they, that no one noticed the roadie loading up his car with the band's backup equipment, and driving off into the night to find the nearest fence...
	Peacemaker Duke errantly flipped through a pile of old family photos. Man, the 60s and 70s were not a flattering time for his family, fashion-wise! His dad had a getup just like this. Maybe it would look better on a heister than it did on him?
	White Bunny In the late 1960s, a man was born. This man would have a life full of chaos, betrayal and trouble until he met the one who would become his mentor. The mentor taught him things, told him how the world really worked. He spoke of a book, known only to a few, that would reveal secrets untold. The man took this information and reformed his life. Eventually becoming one of the greatest criminal masterminds of all time, he would get back at all those who had wronged him, and undertake the greatest heist the public would never know of...

The Vicious

The punk rock jacket and pants are a suit of armor, worn with pride in defiance of the established norms of "polite" society. A true punk jacket has every stud added laboriously by hand, and every painted decoration, also added by hand, has a deeper meaning for the individual wearer. Unless it's just a big fuck-you to the world at large, of course. THIS IS A TAILOR PACK 2 ITEM!

The Vicious outfit was added in update #199 Mark II as part of the Tailor Pack 2 DLC.

	Pasadena Buzzbomb Sydney once dyed her hair bright orange on a dare, the same night as a safehouse party celebrating the latest heist. On that night, Vlad was in attendance, acting in his usual flamboyantly chauvinistic way. When he spotted Sydney's hair, he couldn't help but comment, mentioning something about an "overly ripe carrot" in Russian. Unlucky for him, she actually understood what he said. A little while later, as he nursed a bleeding nose in the bathroom, he chuckled to himself, and decided never to comment on Sydney's choice of hair color again. "Still", he thought, "it was fucking worth it!"
	Army Life Punk was once the bane of morally panicking parents and the savior of many a derelict warehouse as a makeshift concert venue. On one particular evening in the 1980s, Dragan was in the London Docklands to meet a contact about a job, at the infamous "Deadweek" 7-day mohawk party. The contact never showed, and Dragan never heard from him again. To this day, he still doesn't know what happened.
	White Wedding Coming back from a Clash concert in Liverpool one night, Hoxton strode into an alley while humming his favorite song of the evening. Out from behind a large dumpster came a pair of skinheads, brandishing knives. Hox, running on a natural high of distorted guitar riffs, simply ignored the outstretched blades and kicked the hooligan's(sic) asses, before throwing them into the very dumpster they were hiding behind, all the while humming the tune of his favorite song...
	Rockaway Beach Every musician in New York knows about the infamous "music store break-in spree" of 1983. As the story goes, Jacket, before starting his career as a maniacal heister, was traveling with group of friends(sic) in a punk band, doing some roadie work in exchange for beer and drugs. One night, right before the show, the g-string broke on the singer's favorite guitar. Not satisfied with any old string, demanding his special brand of imported flatwounds with all the stores closed, Jacket had to get... creative... in locating a new string. He got one, with five minutes to spare before showtime.
	Mos Med Gnu Conformity. Conformity of the chicken-shit kind surrounds us all the time. Like a pile of bricks, it weighs on the mind of each individual, forcing complacency. Unless you're the type of person who can't help but give a Rebel Yell and shake your fist in the air. And a heister who walks into a bank wearing this, shows the world they ain't afraid of anything!

	Wushu Brown For those hits and heist in grimy back-alleys, where you have to blend in, but still want to do it in style!
	Wushu Blue Don't let your mood get you down, express it in blue, while taking out your quarry!

Triad Casual

Even a hard-nosed ass-kicking, contraband-smuggling triad gangster needs to kick back and chill once in a while.

Unused content

Currently there exists an outfit and two pairs of gloves that are in the game files but unused.

Track Suit

While the two-piece suit adds an air of professionalism to a heist, and can instil a sense of calm authority in scared civilians, they're not very practical, or comfortable. And there's a lot to be said for comfort when undertaking strenuous activities, such as shooting up a bank or cracking a safe. There's a reason that mobsters from many crews, high status and low, have adopted the track suit as their go-to garment when conducting business that doesn't need to have a formal, ceremonial component.

Track Suit outfit was added in update #200. It and its variations are currently unused and unobtainable without modding, though it has been stated there are plans for it to be officially released in a future update.

	Dallas Destroyers Fun fact: Dallas wore this outfit the first time he was ordered to assasinate someone by the Chicago mob he was with in the beginning of his criminal career. The mark, a young female informant, didn't sit well with him, which was what prompted him to eventually betray the organization.
	Hoxton Hustlers Fun fact: In the 90s, Hoxton had a brief period where he trained fanatically every day. He went on runs, lifted weights, and even played the odd bit of Cricket. For a while there, this bout of temporary insanity made him almost forget his love for whiskey. Almost.
	Houston Hounds Fun fact: When Dallas' crime career was getting started, Houston ran a gun range outside of Atlanta, which was often frequented by Chains. When Dallas betrayed the mob he was working with in Chicago and had to go into hiding, Houston took him in and let him operate out of the range. This was the one time in their lives that Houston felt independent of his older brother.
	Wolf Woofers Fun fact: Wolf has a log cabin in the woods outside the northern Swedish city of Kiruna. Once a year, he tries to make it back there, where he will go for runs in the woods. (It is said that when Wolf goes running, even the bears go into hiding!)
	Chains Centurions Fun fact: After the meeting with a half-drunk Vlad, where he went on and on and on about making everyone rich by selling safes, Chains threw his old track suit and got this one.
