The Marxman is a promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is a pair of round glasses, with a plastic nose and paintable fake facial hair (bushy eyebrows and a moustache) bound together with tape and attached to it. The ensemble is known as Groucho glasses.
The Marxman has two unique styles. The second one named "Yes, Cigar" style adds a cigar to the glasses.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012 or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Marxman was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
