Patrick Bateman Costume 2023 | Real vs Copy
Patric Bateman is an iconic movie character from ‘American Psycho‘ that was released in 2000. However, even in 2023, Patric Bateman is a popular character among young people, and Patrick Bateman Costume is most wanted for every Halloween, Costume, or Cosplay party. That is why we will go through each item of his outfit in this post. Another idea for a solo costume can be a Taxi Driver Costume.
But we will not concentrate on his foam axe and transparent raincoat. Instead, I want to show you what real items he was wearing in this movie if you want to wear real items of your favorite character in everyday life, or how you can replace them with cheaper options if you only need them for one Halloween party.

Patrick Bateman Costume
Suit
Valentino UOMO Double-Breasted Wool Suit
In the movie, Patrick stated that he is a big fan of Valentino, so it was not a problem to find the suit he was wearing, however, you can see him as well in Brioni Super 180s Suit. On marketplaces, you can find it for $200-$300, but brand new it was around:
~$3,000
Not Valentino Double-Breasted Suit
It is not an easy job to find an identical suit to Valentino without Valentino’s pricing, however, this option will be a great option for a Halloween party, and maybe for your future wedding. Based on reviews the suit comes without any emblems on it.
Shirt
Brioni blue/white collar dress shirt with French cuff
The best way to find such shirts is on marketplaces and thrift stores, as contrast collar shirts are not as popular right now. As well you can see Patrick wearing Brioni striped shirt in ‘American Psycho’.
~$700
Cloudstyle Men’s Dress Shirt
An affordable and easy-to-get shirt that will fit perfectly for your American Psycho outfit.
Patrick Bateman’s Tie
Salvatore Ferragamo Red Silk Tie
There are no close captions of Patrick’s tie so we can’t see the print, however the Ferragamo tie is the one that the investment banker would wear in the last ’80s, and print designs of vintage Ferragamo ties look similar to what Patrick Bateman wears. Current price on marketplaces: ~$30
~$200
Amazon Essentials men’s Classic Dots Necktie
It is a regular dot-print tie that will not take a lot from your costume budget and will help to make your Patrick Bateman look complete.
Shoes
Allen Edmonds Vintage Oxfords
It is a vintage model that you can find only on marketplaces, however, you still can buy new Allen Edmonds Oxfords, that will look very similar at a price:
~$400
Bruno Marc Men’s Oxfords
You can find many different options of black oxfords on Amazon, that will fit your taste and pocket. All of them will fit your costume, or you might have some black oxfords already, as they are pretty classic. I picked the one with the most reasonable pricing and good reviews.
Patrick Bateman Watch
Rolex Datejust 16013
Datejust 16013 is a vintage Rolex watch that was sold from 1977-1988 that exactly fits the time the movie is describing. The current price is
~$7,000
Timex South Street Sport Watch
This watch might be not as high-quality as Rolex and doesn’t have such a brand history, but for your Patrick Bateman Cosplay, it will be the best option!
Additional Accessories
Sony WM-D3
We can see Patrick Bateman listening to Sony WM-D3 with its original headsets during the movie. Currently, this vintage player is a rare piece, and can be sold in mint condition for:
$500-$1,000
Ray-Ban RB2140
Patrick Bateman’s Classic Sunglasses from Ray-Ban were popular in the late 80s, and are available for purchase even now. Fashion is cyclical!
Must-Have Accessories for Patrick Bateman’s Halloween Costume
Of course, I cannot avoid these obvious but important things for having a recognizable costume of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. To our list for a ‘copy costume’, you can add:
27″ realistic foam Felling Axe
A perfect option for Halloween parties, or American psycho cosplay as this fake axe looks realistic, and doesn’t look like you you took it from a kid’s store. Pricing is pretty reasonable, however, wish it could be cheaper.
Patrick Bateman’s Raincoat
To make it more identical to the one from the movie, you should cut off the hood, which will make it useless during rain, but it will be cheaper than looking for an exact match without the hood. At least, you will get 2 raincoats, for men and women, so you won’t have a problem with picking a Christmas present for your girlfriend.
Fake Blood 18oz
To recreate Patric Bateman’slook after scene with the axe, or the most popular posters of American Psycho, you can add free splashes of fake blood on your face, raincoat, and axe.
Bonus Patrick Bateman’s Costume
This option is not for everyone, but if you have a tight budget and people at your party will accept it, you can use Patrick Bateman’s outfit from the popular bed scene.
For this costume, you only need the:
- pair of nylons;
- pair of mannequin female legs;
- black women’s pumps;
- courage and perfect like Patrick Bateman’s physical form;
