Elegant Suit





The  is an outfit available to be worn by John Marston in Red Dead Redemption. It is discovered when the player first initiates a game of poker or enters the tailor's shop in Thieves' Landing. It can then be bought at said location.

In-game description
"When you wear this Elegant Suit it will be possible to cheat at Poker."

Tips and Tricks
Wearing the Elegant Suit allows the player to cheat in poker by allowing them to stash an extra card. The player can stash a card every time it's their turn to deal the cards, by pressing either the triangle or Y button. Stashing it initiates a mini game where the player must keep an arrow balanced. If the arrow becomes unbalanced, an NPC will find the player cheating. It should be noted that if the player is caught cheating the NPC will challenge the player to a duel. Some players use this as a way to control when they duel in order to practice dueling. If the player is caught cheating they do not get their money back, so in effect, it is like paying between $10 to $100 to duel.

Trivia

 * Marston wears this suit on the box art for Red Dead Redemption however with the addition of his gloves and the Bandolier and the removal of the coat and his hat.
 * The in-game description says that it allows you to cheat at Liar's Dice as well as poker, however at this time, there is no way to cheat at Liar's Dice as the player can't store dice up his sleeve as easily as he can cards.
 * R* had originally planned the Elegant Suit to be worn without Marston's cowboy hat, much like the Gentleman's Attire
 * The tie on the elegant suit appears to be the same one that Nigel West Dickens wears. Only a bit faded.
 * It's speculated that the suit comes with a card holdout device that straps to the thigh to hold spare cards during a game. This is supported by the fact that he puts his hands under the table when switching out a card.


 * Landon Ricketts can be seen wearing said device in a cutscene in the mission &quot;Lucky in Love&quot;.
 * In one of the trailers for Undead Nightmare, John is seen riding a horse with this outfit, despite the fact it is unattainable in the DLC. However, the Undead Cowboy Outfit seems to be the vest and tie from this suit with the sleeves of the shirt rolled up.
