A Brief Overview

Throughout history, every adventurer, fictional or non-fictional, has had some sort of quirky clothing. Indiana Jones had his fedora, Livingstone his pith helmet, and Arthur Dent his dressing gown. These defining pieces of attire not only help to make the wearers memorable, but are also extremely functional, both as stylish clothing and as a tool in whatever adventuring they may be doing.

So You Wanna Be and Adventurer?

The first thing is to get the clothing right. It won't be anything ordinary, and may in fact be considered strange or abnormal. The important thing to remember when picking out your signature clothing item is that what others think doesn't matter. In fact, if you choose to dress differently, with your own style, others will begin to do the same.

Your piece of clothing could be as functional as a blazer, which is full of pockets for carrying whatever needs to be carried, or as unfunctional as a rainbow-striped sash. Whatever you choose, it will be known as your "adventure clothing." For example, a blazer could be known as an "adventure jacket." An eccentric hat you wear would be an "adventure hat."

Whatever you choose to wear will immediately be seen as part of you by whoever sees you wear it. People will remember you and that bit of eccentric attire, and tell stories about the day they met you.

When to Wear It

Your adventure clothing isn't for everyday wear, unless, of course, every day is literally an adventure for you. That would take away from the charm. Your adventure clothing should be worn anytime you are doing something out of the norm, doing something slightly or potentially dangerous, or doing something you know will get you bragging rights later. An adventure isn't just being chased by gun-toting Nazis or questing through Africa, it can be going out at 4am to find something, ANYTHING, to do, or simply sneaking out to see someone.

Do not make a bad name for yourself with it. Chivalry, gentlemen, chivalry.
