He wears his iconic brown hat, brown leather/suede jacket, a brown button down shirt, brown-gray pants, a prop whip, and a green and brown messenger bag. This would be the perfect costume for an older Indy!

He wears a red silk button-up shirt with a black tie, a black suit jacket and matching pants, with a red silk pocket handkerchief, black and red shoes, a red devil tail, red gem ring, and a skull staff.
Jeffy from SML
In the YouTube series SML (formerly SuperMarioLogan), Jeffy Jeffy is the adoptive son of Rose and Marvin, who he spends his days annoying. He wears a blue helmet and has a shirt with his name written on it by his mom… so he won’t forget his name. To fully commit to this costume you’ll want to keep a pencil (the rubber variety is recommended for safety) shoved up your nose, and diapers worn outside your pants. The better to keep your diaper clean.
