If Garrett would live in our world.... - by DreadLord

Cool question.
I think he'd wear something very nondescript. Back in Garrett's world, I think he (and thieves in fantasy lore in general) wore the hood and cloak because concealment was best done by actually concealing one's body. In today's massively-populated world, however, concealment is best done by simply blending in. Think of Matt Damon's pickpocket character in
Ocean's Eleven, for example.
I disagree he'd wear something akin to the Goth style; he'd stick out like a sore thumb, which would jeopardize at least some of his objectives.
I imagine him in shades (for detachment from crowds), loose but not sloppy clothing (for mobility), earthy and natural colors (for an unremarkable appearance). Short, kempt hair (keeping with the times).
Since when does Garrett go about his thief-like business in the day time? He doesn't need to blend in with the crowd, he just needs to keep it dark and sneaky. :thumb:

Well, he does walk through crowded streets in T:DS and pickpocket people. I think he'd favor a discreet appearance over a ghetto thug look anyday...as well as a goth look, both of which would attract completely unnecessary attention to him.

Those poor people would be victims of Garrett...and maybe even his dagger.

Well, as I said before I think both goth- and ghetto-look would be the opposite of garretts character....
Primary practical but with some coolness. but I agree that it wouldnt be colorful stuff....
His hair wouldnt be too different - in the rare moments you can see it in DS (or in the first DP briefing) it looks quite cool - some longer wisps...
But my thought was - What kind of clothing in our world ist the pendant to the hood in his world? Remember, though a hood isnt something special in his world it still caused some stir among some citizens and merchants....
I think something what comes close to it would be a hat or cap....:joke:

the sterotypical red ballcap turned backwards (or forwards) . . . at least in this region, most people that wear them are immediately considered assholes

Inconspicuous.
Like that grey pasty middle-aged man you don't even see on the subway. You'd never notice until your jewels are fondled.
