Suit

The Suit is the signature apparel adorned by Agent 47 in almost all of his appearances throughout the Hitman series. The basic design has remained largely the same throughout the series, although it has undergone a few changes throughout the franchise.

History[]

The original instance was first seen in a room next to Agent 47's during Training, as a clothing prepared by Dr. Otto Ort-Meyer to replace Agent 47's patient clothing. However, to escape the asylum, he needed to disguise as an orderly; thus, he abandoned the suit in favor of an orderly outfit.

One year later, Agent 47 managed to acquire a similar style of clothing, and from that point on, used it as his most preferred style of dress during missions. By the time of Hitman: Absolution, he is well acquainted with Chicago tailor Tommy Clemenza and trusts him enough to not disclose his true identity of "Mr. 47."

Beginning with HITMAN™, 47 has expanded his wardrobe to include more varied apparel, preferring to dress more appropriately for the location and setting he's in. Thereafter, the term "suit" usually refers to the initial set of clothing with which 47 begins the level, regardless of its composition. The original suit-and-tie combination is still used in almost all cut scenes as his default and most recognizable attire.

Appearances[]

Codename 47 - Blood Money[]

Throughout Hitman: Codename 47 to Hitman: Blood Money, Agent 47's suit is a black, two button notch lapel two piece suit. In Blood Money, it's donned with a white shirt adorned with black pinstripes. Also signature to the suit are the red tie (whose pattern varies from game to game) and black gloves. In the Requiem, the finale of Blood Money, Agent 47 is changed into a pure white suit (quite possibly by the Franchise).

Absolution[]

In Absolution, Agent 47 wears a similar black notch lapel two piece suit. According to in-game text, the suit only has one button, though animation depicts it with the traditional two. He complements it with a plain white cotton French cuff shirt.

He usually wears a solid red tie, but can occasionally be seen with a black one, or no tie at all. He also wears his traditional black leather gloves, though of a slightly different configuration than previous games. His tie clip and cuff-links bear the "Hitman Insignia." It is revealed late in the game that the suits are made by a man named Tommy Clemenza, who runs a tailor shop in Chicago.

DLC Suits[]

In addition to the normal suit, Agent 47 can also wear various other suits in Contracts Mode:

High Tech Suit (pre-ordered from Amazon or as DLC) - A dark grey, futuristic, military-style jacket with a body armor underneath. It gives a 50% armor bonus to Agent 47.^[1] The pre-order also includes the Bartoli Custom, a heavily modified handgun with a built-in scope and suppressor.
High Roller Suit (pre-ordered from Walmart or as DLC) - A black James Bond-styled tuxedo with black gloves. The pre-order also includes the Krugermeier 2-2, a suppressed handgun which debuted in Silent Assassin.
Public Enemy Suit (pre-ordered from Best Buy or as DLC) - A charcoal grey pinstripe three piece suit with a white shirt and red silk tie. Unlike other suits which Agent 47 wears, this suit is worn with a fedora. Its appearance is akin to the 1930s or 1940s Chicago "gangster" style. The pre-order also includes the Bronson M1928 (a Tommy gun-styled weapon, common among the "gangster" stereotype).
Adam Jensen Suit (available as DLC) - The suit worn by Adam Jensen, the protagonist of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It provides an armor bonus against firearms, the specific percentage unknown. There is a matching Steiner-Bisley Zenith handgun that can also be bought with it.

HITMAN™[]

In HITMAN™, Agent 47 wears a simplified version of his normal suit, dubbed the "Signature Suit." It consists of a black jacket and pants, white shirt, and a solid burgundy tie - though it lacks gloves, compared to 47's previous default suits.

Throughout HITMAN™ and the World of Assassination trilogy, the player can customize Agent 47's appearance at the start of most levels, excluding the training missions and the series finale. The Signature Suit is one of the available sets of clothing that the player can choose in the preparation stage before starting a mission; it does not have to be unlocked. Each level has its own unique clothing themed around the particular environment 47 is operating in; these are also referred to as "starting suits" for simplicity's sake, although many of them lack a jacket and some are quite casual. The first time a level is played, Agent 47 will begin wearing this default outfit; thereafter, the player can choose what outfit to begin the mission in through the mission planning screen. Here, the player can choose from a variety of other suits, which are unlocked by different means. Most unlockable starting suits merely constitute a change in appearance, although a few actually have functional properties that can be useful in some levels. Almost every default starting outfit has an unlockable counterpart that is nearly identical; often, the only difference is the addition of gloves or a slight color change to one article.

The unique versions of level-specific suits can be used in almost every level, unlike their default counterparts:

DLC Suits[]

Requiem Suit (pre-order bonus or as DLC) - Featuring a white suit jacket and pants, a white striped shirt, red and gold tie, along with white gloves and shoes.

Due to the new planning menu, it's possible to choose 47's starting clothing. Each location has a unique default clothing set, which cannot be worn in other levels. This starting outfit is referred to as a "starting suit" for game purposes regardless of whether it includes an actual suit jacket. Nevertheless, the player can choose to begin the level wearing Agent 47's iconic signature suit, if desired. After enough mastery points have been accrued, most missions also allow the player to start "undercover", meaning that 47 starts in a disguise rather than any starting suit.

HITMAN™ 2[]

Just as in the previous game, it's possible to choose 47's starting suit in the new planning menu. Each location has an unique default suit, which cannot be worn in other levels. Each mission also allows the player to start "undercover" after enough mastery points have been acquired by completing the mission before. The next time the mission is played, the player can begin the mission wearing a specific location-appropriate disguise. For example, having infiltrated a location disguised as a member of the local staff, he will start in the corresponding staff uniform.

Agent 47's classic look is the default starting outfit on a couple of levels, first in Another Life, and again in Golden Handshake; in the latter, it is worn underneath a trench coat.

As in the previous two entries in the trilogy, it's possible to choose 47's starting suit in the new planning menu. Each location has an unique default outfit, which cannot be worn in other levels, although slightly different unlockable versions exist for most of them. Each mission also allows the player to start "undercover" after enough mastery points have been acquired by completing the mission before. The next time the mission is played, the player can begin the mission wearing a specific location-appropriate disguise. For example, having infiltrated a location disguised as a member of the local staff, he will start in the corresponding staff uniform.

Trivia[]

In Contracts' gameplay, the tie is solid red. However, in the level loading screens, the tie has gold and black stripes, fitting more with Blood Money's style.
In Blood Money, Agent 47 wears his suit jacket unbuttoned in less formal settings, such as A Vintage Year, and wears it buttoned in more formal settings, such as A House of Cards.
In Hitman: Sniper Challenge, Agent 47 removes his blazer, wearing only his shirt, tie and holsters. However when he reloads the sniper, the tie becomes invisible.
After One of a Kind in Absolution, Agent 47's suit dons a white handkerchief in the front pocket.
On the PC format cover, Agent 47 is shown with a popped collar and no tie. This outfit is only seen in the brief cinematic of Run For Your Life when Agent 47 pushes the wardrobe in front of the door. This is not the same outfit as the one in Shaving Lenny, as this outfit has a popped collar.
Agent 47 wears his original suit for less than half of Absolution.
Agent 47's suit was also released as DLC for the third-person shooter game Sleeping Dogs as part of a "Square Enix Character Pack," along with a suppressed Silverballer.
In missions Birdie's Gift and Welcome to Hope even though Agent 47 is wearing the priest disguise the inventory selection of the disguise still states that it's Agent 47's suit.
In HITMAN™ 2: Sniper Assassin, and in the artworks for the game, the signature suit has driving gloves. This is not obtainable in game however, the closest suit is the Absolution suit.
