The costume director for HBO’s “The Last of Us,” Cynthia Summers, has surprisingly made the character Joel Miller, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, a style icon in 2023. Joel, a former carpenter navigating a world ravaged by a fungal outbreak, sports a wardrobe that’s both practical and rugged, featuring dirty boots, flannel shirts, and a waxed trucker jacket. Despite their simplicity and often grimy appearance, his outfits have gained considerable attention.
Below is a list of Joel’s most notable fashion items from the series, including his signature waxed jacket and a custom field watch.
Joel Miller’s Wardrobe in HBO’s The Last of Us
Waxed Trucker Jacket
Joel’s jacket, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, is a longstanding favorite from Huckberry. Crafted in the USA from durable waxed Martexin sailcloth, it not only offers waterproof capabilities but also warmth with its flannel lining. It comes in eight colors, with Pascal sporting the Forest hue. This piece could likely withstand even a zombie apocalypse.

Work Boots
Joel’s choice of boots is just as functional. He wears the Irish Setter Elk Tracker, a sturdy 10-inch boot renowned in the Red Wing collection. His pair appears to have a vintage touch, missing a tongue cover due to a logo change, indicating they have been well-used.

Field Watch
Joel’s watch is a custom piece created specifically for the show, confirmed by Summers. Although some speculate it resembles a Lum-Tec Super Combat B2, which is quite rare, there are alternatives available like the Seiko Prospex Solar “Arnie” and Casio Pro Trek that would suit a post-apocalyptic lifestyle better.

Flannel Shirt
An interesting detail to note, Joel’s flannel shirt appears in two different time periods within the series. It’s not an antique but rather a Fjallraven product, specifically the Fjällgim Shirt in Laurel Green. Currently, it’s hard to find in stock, except directly through the brand.
