This has been a mystery to me for a long time. What ARE the clothes the male human from the front cover is wearing? Specifically the hat and the shirt. I know what pants and shoes he is wearing, but the hat (which appears to be a fedora) and the shirt are a complete mystery. I've even looked through lists of EVERY piece of clothing in ACNL and I still can't find them. Are they unused? Were they cut? Were they made specifically for the front cover? I don't even know. Here's an image of the character I'm talking about:

Grandpa hat, waistcoat (shirt), black formal pants and either tassled loafers for the shoes or something that's not in the game.
 
You're not going to find those shoes - I think they artistically rendered those shoes.

Cleats would look good!

His eyes have changed from brown to black too.
 
Yep. That seems correct. Thank you people so much! I just wish they called the grandpa hat something else since that doesn't even look like a grandpa hat at all.
 
I think the reason it's called grandpa hat is because it's based on an older generation men styled hats. So the ones who grew up wearing those types of hats would be "grandpa's".

It's easier to say, "he's wearing an old man's hat!" than "he's wearing a porkpie!"

Fancy man hats: X
 
I used to wear the exact same waistcoat and grandpa hat for the longest time ingame lol.

I believe this was a translation from Japanese.
When they do a localization they have to take every word in Japanese and translate it into each language so it fits the culture.

Many of the items in the game may have multiple names.
This is one of those examples.

My character VP in Pixel has a grandpa hat on but I don't think he's wearing the waistcoat. I'll need to change his clothes because my other character Yoshi looks like the "Villager" character figure from the World of Nintendo.
