Luffy is usually recognizable by his straw hat, a gift from "Red-Haired" Shanks. In his early childhood, he wears a white shirt and blue shorts. The character has a scar under his left eye from stabbing himself to demonstrate his courage to Shanks and his crew.[24] He later wears a red vest, denim shorts, and sandals, before replacing his vest with a red, unbuttoned sea captain's coat[25] (revealing the X-shaped scar on his chest he received from Akainu), and a yellow sash tied around his waist.
