How to Dress Like Arthur Morgan
Arthur Morgan gives you a pretty good excuse to wear a cowboy hat all night. For this Red Dead Redemption 2 costume, start with his blue shirt, brown trousers and suspenders, then add the hat, neck scarf and gun belt. Those layers give you the familiar outlaw look without needing a whole wardrobe of western clothes. The game lets Arthur wear plenty of outfits; this guide sticks to the shirt-and-suspenders version pictured in the kit.
Already have the shirt or boots? Start there. You can spend your attention on the hat and suspenders, which people will notice much sooner than a perfectly matched trouser seam. The full styling example includes every kit item, including the toy pistol, but you can leave that accessory at home when it does not suit your plans. Below, we’ll work through the outfit in the order you put it on, from the shirt to the scarf.
Choose Your Arthur Morgan Look
The Full Outlaw Outfit
Wear the blue shirt, brown canvas trousers, suspenders, scarf, cowboy hat and boots, then add the gun belt and toy pistol. Keep the shirt front visible so the suspenders stand out. This is the complete kit shown in the styling example.
A Closet-Friendly Cowboy Costume
Use a blue button-up and brown trousers you already own, then add the hat and suspenders. Finish with the scarf and your own boots. You can skip the toy pistol and still have an Arthur Morgan costume that works for a party.
How to Put the Costume Together
1. The Blue Shirt
Choose a blue button-up with a soft, worn-in feel. The shirt in this look has a fine stripe, but a plain blue shirt is a useful substitute. Tuck it into the trousers before adding the suspenders; you want the straps against a tidy shirt front rather than tangled in loose fabric.
2. The Canvas Trousers
Brown canvas trousers help the outfit feel western without requiring leather chaps or a full cowboy suit. Leave enough room at the waist for the tucked shirt. Wear them over the boot tops, then check that the hems stay clear of the ground.
3. The Suspenders
Clip or fasten the suspenders to the trousers and adjust both sides evenly. They should hold their shape without pulling the waistband too high. Keep them visible over the shirt; adding a jacket would cover one of the most useful details in this version of Arthur’s outfit.
4. The Cowboy Boots
Pull on the boots before setting the final trouser length. Brown western boots are the closest starting point for this kit. If you are using boots you already own, a simple pair keeps the focus on the hat, scarf and suspenders. Give new boots a trial walk before the party.
5. The Gun Belt And Toy Pistol
Wear the cowboy belt around the hips, below the trouser waistband, with the holster at your side. Put the toy pistol in the holster rather than carrying it through every photo. Check the event’s prop rules first; if toy weapons are not allowed, leave the pistol out and keep the rest of the outfit.
6. The Hat And Scarf
Set the hat comfortably above your eyebrows, then tie the scarf loosely at the neck. Keep the knot small enough that it does not swallow the shirt collar. A little everyday wear in the hat or boots suits Arthur better than a perfectly coordinated new set.
Give The Outfit Arthur’s Western Feel
Let The Hat Do Some Work
The brim and worn shape help sell the character. Try the hat with your hair before tightening the band or adding anything underneath; it should stay put when you turn for a photo.
Keep The Straps And Belt Separate
The suspenders belong on the trousers; the gun belt sits lower around the hips. Giving each its own space keeps the front of the costume from looking crowded.
Try A Simple Outlaw Pose
Hook a thumb near the belt or rest a hand at your side. You do not need to point the toy pistol to make an Arthur Morgan photo recognizable.
Arthur Morgan Cosplay Ideas
Arthur is a fun choice for a Red Dead Redemption 2 group, especially if your friends already like western clothes. Give everyone their own character and outfit rather than dressing the whole group in identical blue shirts. Arthur’s hat, suspenders and neck scarf provide an easy point of difference in the photos.
You can also wear this as a solo Halloween costume without explaining the entire game. The cowboy outfit works on its own, and fans will have the details to recognize Arthur. For a simple photo, stand by a porch, fence or plain wooden door and keep the outfit visible from hat to boots. There is no need to find a cinematic landscape or buy extra props just for the background.

About Arthur Morgan
Arthur Morgan is the central playable character in Red Dead Redemption 2 and a member of the Van der Linde gang. His story follows the gang as its way of life becomes harder to sustain. His loyalty, doubts and choices give the character more depth than the usual quick-draw outlaw.
Players can change Arthur’s clothes throughout the game, so there is no single outfit that covers every version of him. This guide focuses on a blue-shirt western look with suspenders, a scarf and a cowboy hat. It is a useful starting point when you want a recognizable Arthur Morgan costume without assembling one of his heavier coats or more elaborate outfits.
