Naut Couture

Naut Couture is a headgear shop in Splatsville that appears in Splatoon 3. It is run by Gnarly Eddy and Nails.

Description

Naut Couture sells headgear items that can be purchased with cash, which come with their default primary ability, default star power, no experience, and empty secondary ability slot(s).

There are nine unique headgear items at a time, which are randomly chosen among eligible items and cycle at midnight UTC. Naut Couture shares its daily stock with Cooler Heads and Headspace: purchasing an item in one of the headgear shops removes it from all other such shops.

The availability of shop gear by initial star power is based on the player's level. Gear items exclusive to the catalog need to be obtained from it before they start appearing in Naut Couture.

Levels
	Pre-S3	S3	Pre-S3	S3	Pre-S3	S3

In Splatoon 3, gear items in shops are grouped to (1) returning gear from previous games and (2) gear introduced in Splatoon 3.

Each gear item can only be bought once per day, but owned items can be repurchased, which gives the following options:

• Replacing the owned item with its brand new duplicate (with default primary ability, default star power, and empty secondary ability slots) with the same price as buying it for the first time.
• Upgrading the owned item's star power to the next one, which costs cash depending on its star power.

Next star power	Cash	Slots	XP Multiplier
	N/A		1.00
	10,000		1.00
	30,000		1.00
	50,000		1.03
	100,000		1.06
	200,000		1.10

Players can tilt to rotate their character and click to try on the highlighted item, and pressing purchases this item. Pressing displays further information about the selected item. Pressing zooms in on the character's head, allowing for a closer look at the headgear. Pressing allows players to enter Ammo Knights and pressing similarly allows them to enter Man-o'-Wardrobe, while pressing takes players back to the square in Splatsville.

Appearance

The shop is decorated by a variety of natural-looking decor, including tree branches with charms hung on them, various boxes and rocks. There are nautilus fossils only on the dark part of the wall, perhaps to represent rock layers. A radio is on a rock near the corner of the wall. On the right wall is a bookcase in the shape of a nautilus shell with a cabinet in the middle. On the shelves of it are some hats and glasses, and on the bottom shelf there is an Ink Theory album and a Hightide Era album.

Quotes

“	SRL Fashion Desk here with info on Naut Couture, Splatsville's headgear shop. It seems the laid-back shopkeeper Gnarly Eddy and his, uh, less laid-back boss Nails sell hats, masks, glasses, and other things you wear on your head. PSA: do NOT attempt to wear Nails as a hat.	”
