Rip Wheeler is rarely caught without his brown felt hat, which is the trademark of the cowboy ensemble.

And it perfectly suits the right-hand man’s smug look that no woman can’t help but crush on.

This hat is definitely a standout in any setting for its quality – even in a room full of cowboys. The replica comes with a hefty price tag as the same store – Greeley Hat Works – made the hat for Rip Wheeler himself. But if you’d be fine with anything as long as it looks like it, there are plenty of matches on Amazon.
Pair this with a dark denim jacket, black pants, and boots just like Rip, and you’re on your way to getting head turns.
The Shades
????✅ Ray-Ban – $114.10 | also available on Amazon
Adding to the signature Rip Wheeler look are his stylish aviator sunglasses. These sunglasses, with their titanium metal frames, flexible and secure cable temples, and large lenses, are fit for the tough and the rough, just like him.
Rip is wearing Ray-Ban’s New Caravan style in a Gold/Legend Gold frame with a Green Classic lens. This is a contemporary take on the classic retro Caravan style by the brand. They come in different styles and colors, and they’re also built for prescription lenses and coated for 100% UV protection. So no need to sacrifice style for your eyes’ needs.
This will definitely elevate your style, even if you’re just wearing a simple shirt-jeans-sneakers combination. Trust us. Trust Rip.
The Scarf
???? Amazon – $16.99
Rip’s scarf occasionally pops up on the screen, and while it’s not part of his signature look, it’s a memorable one. Style-wise, this piece adds a subtle hint of rugged elegance to his outfit. Practically speaking, this is a good investment that can help you cover up the neck from the sun’s rays. You can also use this as a mask or as a head ornament.
The Jacket
????✅ Filson – $350 | also available on Yellowstone Outfitters, Zappos, and Amazon
The Rip Wheeler wardrobe will never run out of jackets, and he has quite a collection of different styles. His most popular one is this Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket with two flap chest pockets and the official Dutton ranch logo (which was customized to give Rip a better fit). The original is expensive, but Yellowstone Outfitters has an extensive collection of the series’ outfits and has created a replica of this jacket for half the price.
It’s the perfect rugged workwear that combines both style and comfort. So you can go ahead with your day in full confidence and work productively. Plus, you can also use this for costume parties to dress as John Dutton’s right-hand man. Don’t forget to pop the collar if you do.
????✅ Yellowstone Outfitters – $129 | also available on Amazon
Aside from the official Yellowstone jacket, Rip also wears vests from time to time. The first one is this wool vest that perfectly matches his usual ensemble – plain and black.

And the second one is the two-tone quilted vest that is perfect for camouflage attire when hunting down animals… or people. We all know it: Yellowstone can be ruthless.
These vests are versatile and comfortable pieces that are also made to help keep you warm during winter’s chill breezes. It’s definitely worth investing your money in one or two of these.
The Button-ups
????✅ Amazon – $34.99
Rip’s black button-up shirt by Wrangler is a versatile piece that he wears with his jackets and vests. You can wear it by itself or layer it just like Rip. Either way, this functional fit will surely make you look and feel good. And the best part? This will last you for years, so it’s worth the bucks that you’d spend on it.
????✅ Cowtown Cowboy Outfitters – $29.99 | also available on Amazon
But if you’d like a change-up in color, then take Rip’s light denim button-up, which is from Wrangler as well. This work shirt can be layered with jackets for a work fit, but it can also be styled for a more casual look as a long-sleeve layer or as a layer with a basic tee underneath.
The Gloves
????✅ Amazon – $18 – $22
Surely, we all have one pair of gloves for winter. Rip has one for the same reason but also to keep his hands clean from all the dirty work he does for the ranch.
The Belt Buckle
???? Cowtown Cowboy Outfitters – $49.99 | also available on Montana Silversmiths and Amazon
A cowboy outfit would never be complete without a badass belt buckle. Many Yellowstone-inspired ones are on the market, so you can pick the style that best fits you. Cowtown Cowboy will be a good pick if you are into the simple style. But if you’re looking for a belt buckle that screams Rip Wheeler, then go for Montana Silversmiths. But any big, bulky belt buckle would be acceptable for the Rip fit.
Take one for your wardrobe. You’ll never know when you’ll need that extra character to spice up your outfit.
The Jeans
????✅ Amazon – $24.98 – $62.99 | also available on Cinch and Kimes Ranch
Rip Wheeler or Rip Wrangler? Yes, these ass-kicking slim-fit straight-leg jeans worn by the Dutton ranch’s right hand are from Wrangler again. The brand has long established its authority on quality denim that can withstand a day on the saddle, which is why it’s popular with cowboys and cowgirls. Aside from the quality, it boasts a slimmer, more proportioned fit, lower rise, and flexible material that can easily stack over cowboy boots.
If you’re always on the go like Rip, then this pair of denim jeans will help you feel comfortable while running on peak performance.
The Boots
????✅ Ariat – $204.96 | also available on Shop the Scenes, Justin, and Boot Barn
Last but definitely not least is Rip’s quickdraw cowboy boots. These classic boots made from full-grain premium leather matched with a clean, traditional style are created for the rough work of being a cowboy. It’s tough on the outside but soft and refreshing on the inside.
If you’re going to get only one pair of cowboy boots, we highly recommend this Rip style.
Bonus: The Ring
????✅ Shop the Scenes – $150
When Beth Dutton, daughter of the Yellowstone ranch patriarch John Dutton, proposed to Rip in season 3, she gave him a simple ring made of steel that is ‘unable to be broken and can weather any storm.’
The band was actually created by the show’s special effects team, according to executive producer David Glasser made from steel pipe, which they then rounded. From an editorial standpoint, it was an authentic take on the characters’ relationship. But as fanservice, the Yellowstone team collaborated with British jewelry designer Stephen Webster to create a version called Till Death Ring that fans could purchase. This is exclusively sold on Shop the Scenes created by Jill Martin, a lifestyle contributor for the TODAY show.
There you have it! Hopefully, this Rip Wheeler full outfit guide will help you slay the cool, suave guy look!
