When a character is referred to by a signature outfit of piece of clothing that they wear. It is NOT just for any character who has a signature article of clothing; the clothing must be in the title of the work or else be part of the name the character is consistently called by. Often, no other name is even given for the person in question.
See also [[Clothes Make the Legend]], [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]], and [[No Name Given]].
