The Apparatchik's Apparel is a community-created cosmetic item item for the Heavy. It is a long-sleeved shirt with its sleeves rolled up, replacing the Heavy's default shirt under his vest and Minigun bandolier.

There are four unique styles for the Apparatchik's Apparel, each one applying a different pattern to the shirt. The second style, "Blood Bin", replaces the default pattern with a horizontal stripe pattern. "Investor", the third style, applies a vertical stripe pattern, and the fourth, aptly named "J.R. Gyle", applies an argyle pattern.

The Apparatchik's Apparel was originally contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Lumberjack Shirt".
