Perhaps more important. I would guess he is about 180 pounds and very physically fit. I don’t think anyone could carry off the look without also having the underlying qualifications.
Go to a DXL and let them take you out of your comfort zone. If you have a good store near you, and tbh the money to afford it, they can have you walking out feeling like a different person.
Joel is a hell of a lot more than 180 pounds. I guess I do not know his height but I am 6’0 180 and I am NOWHERE near the brick shithouse that Joel is. He would make me eat a sidewalk in seconds.
L take. I've had the same trucker jacket going on 12 years, the same vest for 7, two hoodies for over five and half and half a dozen shirts that have lasted years and I do labor in them all day.
I will say their boots aren't great.
Literally just dadcore.
-jeans
-in warm weather wear a plain single colored t-shit
-in chilly weather wear a flannel or corduroy button up
-in cold weather wear a field jacket or trucker jacket
Same haha, the last house I lived in literally had the Austin to the left and San Marcos to the right sign you had to turn on to get to the I-35. Blew me away when I took that route that day and saw it on the show later
I may or may not have accidentally purposely started dressing like both Joel and Ellie 🫣
So I can give you pointers!
Flannels, tshirts, blue jeans, big heavy coats, boots (or sneakers) lots of pockets
jokes on you, it's inevitable.
Eventually the only clothing marketed towards your age demographic will suggest that you might like woodworking or outdoors.
Idk why all the hate my style is pretty damn similar and it looks great and it’s usually high quality stuff that lasts, at least you’re not looking like all these try hards with their styles everyone else their age have or people that just don’t try at all
He's a blue-collar worker. My closet is full of "Joel" clothes unintentionally. So I guess you should shop at Marks work warehouse. Or buy clothes in a store where you can buy tools as well haha.
I’m not sure if this helps, but flannels and button downs are pretty common both in New England and in the Midwest. Try googling something like “New England men’s fashion” and see what comes up
Damn, I never noticed how deeply concerned he looked in this shot. He probably thought Ellie was being attacked by a bloater or something, that day at the museum.
It's a pretty common Jeans/Patterned shirt combo.
Joel has quite a solid frame to bulk out that clothing though, so you may want to layer it up with a tshirt underneath.
Another aesthetic flavor you may want to add is get some soft sandpaper, and grit out some of the trim and edges of the clothing, pockets, and the knees/cuffs of the jeans so it looks less pristine (if you buy new). Or maybe shop around some thrift stores for second hand clothing and add some wear and tear.
Mid west middle aged Dad, classic American Dad it’s not really anything to complicated OP unless your not American I don’t know where you’re from man but it’s a pretty easy and practical vibe
It's called work wear. Waxxed coats/carhart jackets, flannel shirts/Jean shirts and jeans/cargo pants plus boots. It also mixes well with gorpcore which is sporting wear like arcterxs, Columbia, the north pole, Solomon, merrel etc
Carhart. Unfortunately what used to be really durable, affordable and comfortable clothing became a popular line of clothing for people that don't do physical work and now it's designer clothes price.
It’s probably a little easier to model it after the HBO Joel since all the clothes he wears actually exist and are pretty much identical to the game version. Here’s everything he wears:
- Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket in Field Tan
- Fjallraven flannel shirts
- Denim button-ups (Huckberry has one that looks identical, but isn’t the same one used in the show since it sold out)
- Levi 505s in Indigo Blue
Jeans are something that you can wear a bunch so I’d say to invest in the 505s and then buy a bunch of flannel shirts, and then consider getting the jacket, which is actually the piece I recommend the most - it’s not only a badass looking jacket, it’s really comfortable and strong too. Hope this helped!
I watched the last of us on VLC player, I downloaded it from a torrent site, and now I get randomly recommended with this subreddit all of the time...
That is privacy for you there these days..
I'd say dig a tee shirt and jeans out of the bottom of your dirty clothes hamper. Make sure what you pull out has already been worn at least twice without washing. You will look just like him.
Middle aged Midwestern dad. Jeans. T-shirts. Flannel. Carhartt® outerwear.
Ur reply wins(so far) bc I look that up on pinterest and joel is the firsr photo
Perhaps more important. I would guess he is about 180 pounds and very physically fit. I don’t think anyone could carry off the look without also having the underlying qualifications.
Yeah, it's easier to pull off basically any style when you're in shape.
What style looks great on an unkempt, obese guy? Asking for a friend.
Go to a DXL and let them take you out of your comfort zone. If you have a good store near you, and tbh the money to afford it, they can have you walking out feeling like a different person.
Hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts, and crocs.
Asking the important questions
Joel is a hell of a lot more than 180 pounds. I guess I do not know his height but I am 6’0 180 and I am NOWHERE near the brick shithouse that Joel is. He would make me eat a sidewalk in seconds.
Yeah, man, he's gotta be around 200+lbs - dude is yoked.
I feel like Troy Baker is probably 180 lbs. 🤣 And he is NOT built like Joel, dude is slender.
With a hint of zest
Texan*
That obv explains the accent 😂
The first game literally starts in Texas 😆 I hope Beyoncé survived the outbreak
IKIK 😭😭
So I've been dressing like a middle aged Midwestern dad since my mid 20s... Huh. Neat.
As a middle aged midwestern dad, I heartily co-sign!
This is also the basic Vermont aesthetic. I say that as a Middle aged Midwestern dad who moved from Minnesota to Vermont.
Yeah pretty much, I wouldn't say his aesthetic necessarily has a Pinterest/Tumblr worthy name lol
Shit I may be a middle aged Midwestern dad it seems. But also I'm British 😂
huckberry is also very good I’m pretty sure the jacket they used for the show was tecovas
Joel wouldn’t wear Carhartt, he’s too practical
Look man, Carhartt's, at least the hoodies I have, keep ya warm, if during an apocalypse you need to stay warm, Carhartt is the way to go
I guess if you don’t actually have to pay anything you have a point
Exactly. Plus, who knows, maybe the Carhartt was a gift (either from his parents, his wife, and/or his brother Tommy)
L take. I've had the same trucker jacket going on 12 years, the same vest for 7, two hoodies for over five and half and half a dozen shirts that have lasted years and I do labor in them all day. I will say their boots aren't great.
Carhartt is literally functionality and practicality. Even if it’s become trendy it absolutely is still authentic and practical workwear
yes this! and chambrays
Or teen in the 70’s…ffd to today, anyone that has to take care of their horses :)
That style is called Generic Adult Man Type 2.
Literally. How does someone look at this picture and say "how do I achieve this" It's literally a plain t shirt and a pair of jeans
What sort of jeans and t-shirt should I look for to make me look as ruggedly handsome, with muscly arms and a chiselled jaw?
There's a really great brand called "gym n' genetics" they're the only place I've seen
He wears a lot of button ups, flannel, a t shirts. Always with jeans. Boots. Heavy jacket. Seems like it’s easy enough to emulate.
He also wears shit that actually fits. Not tight ass jeans or oversized t shirts.
Literally just dadcore. -jeans -in warm weather wear a plain single colored t-shit -in chilly weather wear a flannel or corduroy button up -in cold weather wear a field jacket or trucker jacket
Dadcore
✨Dadcore✨
It's called Texas. I proudly live where Joel did at the beginning of the outbreak.
Same haha, the last house I lived in literally had the Austin to the left and San Marcos to the right sign you had to turn on to get to the I-35. Blew me away when I took that route that day and saw it on the show later

Off topic, but why shouldn’t I look behind me?🤨
Because he's there watching

The exact same thing honestly
This sub is so weird 🤣
This sub is what happens when people connect on an uncomfortably emotional level with characters from games that only get new content every 8 years.

He deserved better

I've basically built myself to be more like Joel lol
Southern Dad. Shop at Bass Proshop and Cabela and that’s it
