Complete Costume Breakdown
Clothing & Core Pieces
First, you will need a comfortable silver gray Champion reverse weave hoodie.
Pair the hoodie with ash gray heavyweight fleece sweatpants for that classic workout look.
When Pat isn’t in his workout gear, he has another memorable outfit.
You can recreate his casual everyday look with a white Philadelphia Eagles jersey.
Layer a frontier brown Carhartt multi-pocket jacket over the jersey.
For the bottom half of this alternate look, wear honey mustard khaki pants.
Finish off the everyday outfit with some wheat-colored Timberland boots.
Accessories & Details
The most crucial accessory for his workout outfit is a large black trash bag.
Pat famously wears the trash bag over his sweatshirt to sweat more during his runs.
You can simply cut a hole for your head and arms to wear it just like he does.
Do not forget his signature jewelry piece.
You will need a gold-filled Jesus head pendant on a Cuban chain necklace.
Cosplay Tips
To really nail the look, keep your hair slightly messy and unstyled.
Pat’s energy is intense, so practice his fast-paced walking and focused expressions.
If you are wearing the trash bag, be careful not to overheat if you are at an indoor convention.
You can easily switch between his workout look and his casual look throughout the day.
Carrying a copy of A Farewell to Arms is a hilarious bonus prop.
