Sean Diaz Costume Guide

Sean Diaz's style embodies practicality and resilience in the face of a long and arduous journey. This section focuses on creating the foundation of his look, with variations that reflect different stages of his travels. Let's break down the core elements for channeling your inner Sean!

The Basics

• What You Need:
  • Hoodie: Opt for a grayish-blue pullover hoodie with a graphic design in the center, such as a wolf or geometric pattern. Look for one with some wear and tear for authenticity.
  • Jeans: Relaxed fit, medium-wash jeans. Sean's jeans develop holes and patches over time, so feel free to distress a pair you own.
  • Shoes: Durable boots are a must – brown hiking boots or military-style boots work perfectly.
  • Accessories (Optional): Beanie (burgundy or dark gray), old-school-style backpack.
• How to Do It:
  • Start with the base layer: Pull on your hoodie and jeans. Distress the jeans further if desired by cutting small holes and fraying edges.
  • Add the footwear: Your boots should be visible – tuck the bottoms of your jeans into them or loosely roll them up.
  • Optional accessories: If it's colder out, don the beanie. A backpack completes the traveler vibe.
• Bonus Tips:
  • Layering: Sean wears layered tops to adjust to varying climates. Add a plain t-shirt or a thermal under your hoodie if needed.

On The Road

• What You Need:
  • Jacket: A brown corduroy jacket with a fleece lining adds warmth and that “just left home” vibe.
  • Patches: Look for fabric patches with wolf designs or geometric patterns to represent Sean's belongings collected along the way.
• How to Do It:
  • Add the jacket: Wear it over your hoodie for extra warmth.
  • Distress your jeans: If you haven’t already, add a few patches to the knees for a well-traveled look.
• Bonus Tips:
  • Make your own patches: Cut simple shapes (triangles, squares) out of an old t-shirt, and stitch them onto your jeans.

Brotherhood and Tattoos

• What You Need:
  • Scissors: You'll be trimming up those sleeves!
  • Black Graphic T-shirt: Look for a design you like.
  • Temporary Tattoos (Optional): Search for wolf or animal skull temporary tattoos if you want to replicate Sean's look.
• How to Do It:
  • Sleeves: Roughly cut off the hoodie sleeves just above the elbow. The more rugged, the better.
  • Switch out the shirt: Replace the hoodie with the black graphic tee.
  • Apply tattoos: Choose a visible spot, like your arm or neck. Make sure the temporary tattoos suit Sean's aesthetic.
• Bonus Tips:
  • Patches over Tattoos: Sew decorative patches over older tattoos (in the game, these sometimes symbolize events Sean and Daniel want to leave behind).

Hospital Escape

• What You Need:
  • All your base clothing elements: Sean reverts to basics under these circumstances.
  • Bandages (Optional): A bandage could be added for Sean's injured eye after the events of Episode 4.
• How to Do It:
  • Back to Basics: Wear your most distressed jeans and hoodie. Don't worry about accessories during this escape-focused stage.
• Bonus Tips:
  • Fake Blood (Optional): Some subtle, dried blood spatters add to the intensity of the hospital escape scene.

Redemption and Beyond

• What You Need:
  • Clean T-shirt (Optional): Consider replacing the graphic tee with a clean white t-shirt – this can be symbolic of Sean's fresh start.
• How to Do It:
  • Subtle Differences: Wear the outfit just as before but keep the look simpler without accessories. Focus on Sean's matured appearance and hairstyle.
• Bonus Tips:
  • Hair Matters: Experiment with product to match Sean’s longer hairstyle and consider slightly grown-out facial hair.

Remember, channeling Sean Diaz's style is about the spirit of his look. The details matter, but don't be afraid to modify, age, and adapt items to match your vision while embodying the traveler's resilience and dedication.
