This always seemed kind of random, unless it's a reference to the Joker.

It's not so much a jester outfit as it is an outfit patched together from all sorts of different clothes and styles. Think of it as a less grisly way to have them dress in skin harvested from their victims, which is what they wear in my homebrew where they were invented, but which is a bit too much for Pathfinder, I suspect. It's certainly too much for them to go around in public. The symbolism of the patchwork outfits lets them ride the line.
I mean, don't you find a cult of murderous clowns that wear masks made of out people's face to be pretty terrifying?
Do they need a reason beyond that?
But yeah, James' homebrew origin of wearing literal suits made of people would make it extremely terrifying.
Wasn't there a serial killer who skinned their victims and wore the skin like some sort "disguise"?

More than one, there's a Fae whose whole shtick is this.
I was talking about in our world, not Pathfinder
Ah, again, probably more than one.
I think you're probably right
Are you thinking of Ed Gein?

Maybe, I dunno. I don't really keep track of serial killers.
I always saw it as more of an Ed Gein, although the skinstitch in Edgewatch sort of blends the two in a horrifying way. Something about 'stitched clownsuit flesh construct filled with bugs and made of people' really just tends to rattle ya.
