The Clothier (commonly known as Clothier) is an NPC in Terraria ,Who sells Vanity Items to the player. One of the things he says when you talk to him is "Thanks again for freeing me from my curse. Felt like something jumped up and bit me." This confirms that he is the Old Man from the dungeon. He will come to town after Skeletron is defeated, and only if there is an empty Home. He drops the Red Hat upon death, and this is the only way to obtain it.

Trivia[]

  • Most of the Clothier's dialogues refer to movies starring the American actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks, namely Cast Away, Forrest Gump, The Ladykillers, Apollo 13, A League of Their Own, and The Polar Express.
  • One of possible names for the Clothier is James. This is a reference to Terraria YouTuber James Benett, who is better known as ChippyGaming and uses the Clothier as his avatar.
  • The Clothier appears to want to eat the Truffle. This can be seen in the Truffle's quote, "Everyone in this town feels a bit off. I woke up to the clothier chewing on my foot last night." and the Clothier's quote, "I'll give you a discount on your wears if you can convince <name of Truffle> to come over for a...sizing."
  • This is further confirmed by the Clothier loving to live near the Truffle, while the Truffle dislikes being a neighbor of the Clothier.
  • Since NPC's charge lower prices when NPC's they like are nearby, this means the Clothier will keep his promise if the player follows through with his request.
  • The quote "I keep having vague memories of tying up a woman and throwing her in a dungeon." is a reference to the fact that the Bound Mechanic is found in the Dungeon. This implies that he, while possessed by Skeletron, was responsible for the act.
  • This is further confirmed by the Clothier's confused hatred of the Mechanic with him having very little memory of what happened before.
  • The quote "That Red Hat of yours looks familiar..." is a reference to player murdering him for the hat, as that is the only way to obtain it legitimately. Additionally, this quote will always override all others as long as the hat is on.
  • This may also suggest that the Clothier may have an awareness of his previous self, as he is 1 of the only 2 NPCs to say something like that, the other being the Guide with the line "I wonder why my predecessor spontaneously burst into flames. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me..."
  • The name Pip may be a reference to Philip Pirrip, called Pip, the protagonist in the 1861 novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Pip goes through multiple different profession changes, and eventually becomes a responsible person at the end. The Clothier starting off as an old man and then turning into a man with a stable job and income may be a metaphor for what Pip had gone through in the book.
  • The Bestiary icon.png Bestiary entry for the Clothier: "Once trapped under a curse, the Clothier is the master of thread. If it's fashion that's desired, he's the man! He talks in a familiar way."
