Nathan Drake is a hero of the Uncharted video game series. It is a very famous icon of the Playstation. Do you want to dress like him, but don't know where to start? You are in the right place, this article will explain all the secrets to dressing like Nathan Drake.
Steps
Step 1. All of Nate's outfits have several things in common
Before choosing a particular costume, get the following items:
Step 2. Belt with buckle
Nate always wears a belt with a very large buckle, the symbol of which varies according to the different games. In Uncharted 1 it featured a skull with crossbones, in Uncharted 2 it featured a shell decoration, and in Uncharted 3 it was a horseshoe. Finding the specific buckle for each game is difficult and expensive, so it's best to use a similar one. There is a belt that replicates that of Uncharted 3, but it might be difficult to get hold of.
Step 3. Necklace with ring
Nate doesn't go anywhere without the ring of his ancestor, Sir Francis Drake. You can find several replicas online, in stores like Shapeways or Etsy. Generally, however, the ring is not sold with the cord, so you will also need to get a leather or rubber cord. The price will depend on the seller. You can find the third game's official ring on eBay, but it's low quality and quite expensive. The price also continues to rise. You can also choose to purchase a simple steel ring with a leather cord.
Step 4. Shoes
Nate's shoes aren't his hallmark, but if you want to be one hundred percent accurate, you'll need to look for brown hiking shoes. Since this type of model is quite expensive, however, a pair of dark sneakers will also work.
Step 5. Gun holster
Nathan Drake always appears with his 45 Defender and brown shoulder holster. Make sure you get a blatantly fake gun to avoid frightening people. You can easily find a fake pistol and holster at most costume shops, as well as online.
Step 6. Clock
Nathan Drake usually wears a circular watch with a brown leather cuff underneath.
Step 7. Decide what costume you want to wear
Nate wears different outfits in each game; her clothing choices depend on the climate or situation. For example, he wears lighter clothing when in the desert than when he is in Nepal.
Step 8. Standard costume
Nate typically appears dressed in jeans and a simple, long-sleeved T-shirt. Any type of blue jeans will do just fine. A torn pair will be even more effective. Then choose a white long-sleeved shirt, or a brown one worn with a white tank top. Another variation could be an olive green collarless polo shirt.
Step 9. Desert costume
In Uncharted 3 Nate visits Rhub Al Khali, one of the largest deserts in the world. On this occasion he wears a collarless polo shirt and beige cargo pants, instead of the usual jeans. Nate also wears a Middle Eastern scarf called Shemagh (a keffiyeh). You can find such a t-shirt in several stores, but if you can't get it for some reason, a regular white shirt will do as well. As for the shemagh, look for a white and blue one and wrap it around your neck. You can easily find it online at a reasonable price.
Step 10. Stealth costume
In Uncharted 2 Nate lands a museum robbery in Turkey. For this outfit, you'll need a black t-shirt, dark jeans, black sneakers, headphones and a pair of black gloves. You can find this kind of clothes in most stores.
Step 11. Nepal
The costume that Nate wears in Nepal is the standard one, with the addition of a brown coat.
Step 12. Teenage born
In Uncharted 3 it is possible to play a 14-year-old Nate for a short period of time. For this costume, you'll need a red and white baseball shirt, blue jeans, a pair of black high-top sneakers, a metal analog watch and a brown backpack. Young Nate wears an analogue oral game, worn on his belt. Also comb your hair messily.
Step 13. Get a little beard to grow
When Nate is on a mission, he doesn't have time to shave. Don't shave for a few days; if possible, for a week.
Step 14. Comb your hair with Nate
Her hair is quite short, with a pointed fringe. To achieve this style you will need short hair, your favorite hairstyling product (gel, wax, etc) and a comb. Apply the product to the hair, comb the bangs up and the rest of the hair forward.
Advice
- Most items aren't 100% game-faithful, so it's best to settle for something similar.
- If you like the idea, you can choose to give your clothes a dirty and worn look.
Warnings
- Avoid getting a gun holster if you live in a country where firearms and guns in general are taken very seriously.
- Try not to wear a black and white herringbone keffiyeh, as it is a symbol associated with conflicts in the Middle East.
