Menswear



Menswear is a major department in Fontaine's Department Store. During the events of the BioShock Infinite Downloadable Content Burial at Sea - Episode 1, Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth must journey through here in their search for a bottle of Old Man Winter.

Burial at Sea
Booker and Elizabeth enter Menswear through the first floor of The Pavilion. At the Checkout they find a pair of Splicers frozen solid by the Frosty Splicer they’re searching for. In the Menswear department proper, they spot a group of four Splicers trying to break into The Daily Bread. Booker notes the possibility for laying a trap, if the two of them are careful. Two more Splicers are upstairs.

First Floor
Menswear is an open, split-level showroom. The Daily Bread diner is on the lower level, suits and separates are sold throughout, hats and dressing rooms are on the second level, and a Checkout post that displays various colognes and perfumes is on the midlevel landing.

A Machine gun Turret guards the area around the Dressing Rooms. Inside, Booker finds a Lockpick, a Gear, some other loot, and the name “Ford Dundee” scrawled repeatedly across the wall in increasingly frenzied, bloody handwriting.

In the Hats section, there’s a crawlspace where an unhinged Splicer has taken residence. He chastises his “wife” as Booker gets the drop on him. In addition to food, there’s the Audio Diary Left Behind, a wallet, and a lockpick. After investigating the space, a Splicer appears in the area and another one by the Checkout station.

Second Floor
Booker and Elizabeth advance to the stairs to the second floor only to find they’ve collapsed. Thankfully, there’s an ornamental lighting sconce Booker can use to bridge the gap. There’s also some valuables nearby such as a lockpick. DeWitt reaches the top and witnesses an intense shootout occurring in Workman’s Wear as Splicers engage with a turret. After the gunfight, Booker collects a piece of Gear on the Workman’s Wear counter and can proceed left to the The Pavilion or right to the Haberdashery.

The Haberdashery sells shirts, suits, and glasses and is patrolled by a lone Splicer. In the rear, a turret is stationed in front of the dressing rooms, which contain a Gear and the Audio Diary Critics, and some Tommy Gun ammo. Several Splicers appear outside the store after Booker checks it out.

Booker and Elizabeth head to the left and find themselves out of Menswear and back in the Pavilion on the second floor.
