Red Dead Redemption 2 players can design outfits for Arthur Morgan depending on their play style and fashion taste, but some looks suit the character better than others. From a realistic approach, there are some outfits that Arthur would and would not wear. After all, unlike Dutch, Arthur is not an ornate dresser and values functionality over appearance, so he may not be wearing suits or flashy accessories everywhere.

There are two types of Red Dead Redemption 2 player when it comes to fashion designs and choices. The first type is those who take their time dressing Arthur in the fanciest and ornate outfits, while the second type is those who leave Arthur in simple clothes and have him running around dirty. There is nothing wrong with these players’ outfit choices, but it does bring up the question of which outfits would fit Arthur Morgan better in RDR2 based on his character.

Premade outfits are available in stores throughout Red Dead Redemption 2, but some players enjoy designing their own outfits. There are different climates throughout Rockstar's Old West, so Arthur will not be in the same outfit everywhere he goes. He will have warm clothes for snowy weather, an outfit for a hot region, and an outfit for chilly days. There is also a chance he may have outfits for different activities, like working in the camp or robbing trains.

Realistic RDR2 Outfits For Arthur Morgan - Legendary Bear Coat

While Arthur Morgan is not a flashy dresser, he would wear the Legendary Bear Coat in cold climates. The bear is one of Red Dead Redemption 2's legendary animals that can be found throughout its open world. One of the reasons this jacket is popular is because the mission that unlocks the Legendary Bear is the hunting mission “Exit Pursued By A Bruised Ego” that Arthur accompanies Hosea on. The coat is popular not only because of its mission but because it is stylish.

The Legendary Bear Coat’s length is similar to the duster coat, but the fur detail along the front of the coat’s neckline is appealing. While the fur detail may seem too flashy, the rest of the coat is given a distressed look that fits Arthur’s style. This coat goes with the rest of the bear outfit, which features a bear hat. The Legendary Bear Coat also pairs well with any of Arthur’s shirts, pants, and boots.

Red Dead Redemption 2's Duster Coat Suits Arthur Nicely

The Duster Coat is another popular coat that players will have Arthur Morgan wear in Red Dead Redemption 2. It is an iconic western coat that many cowboys and outlaws are commonly depicted wearing in western movies and shows. While the coat is not overly warm, it is good to wear on cool or chilly days in the game.

Other than being useful for the weather, this is a coat Arthur would potentially wear on dusty trails to keep his shirt clean. It does come in multiple colors, so it can pair well with any color scheme the player may like. Arthur, though, would probably wear a brown duster coat or a dark blue one, if his original outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2 are anything to go off.

What Red Dead Redemption 2 Shirts Arthur Looks Best In

Another potential outfit Arthur may wear is a simple shirts and pants combo, which is good for hot areas of the game. If RDR2’s Arthur Morgan had missions in New Austin, a shirt and pant combo would have been perfect for that weather. His default outfit features the blue shirt, there are other color options for players to pick from. From a light blue shirt, and solid black shirts, to patterned shirts, there are many options for Arthur. Another good reason for the shirt and pants combo is it is great for hotter climates in the game.

Turn Arthur Into A Brawler With This RDR2 Outfit

The Brawler Outfit is a premade outfit unlocked in Red Dead Redemption 2 after completing the story mission “Eastward Bound.” It features a black union shirt, suspenders, and brown pants tucked into boots. However, because this outfit is so simple, it easy for players to recreate it in a different color with different accessories.

While Arthur relies on pistols and revolvers in Red Dead Redemption 2, he is no stranger to a fistfight. In fact, one of his first visits to Valentine results in a fistfight that ends in the middle of the road. So, he may have an outfit for physical fights. The player can change the color of the union shirt and pants, but potentially something dark colored would be worn to hide any blood stains.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - The Perfect Outlaw Outfit For Arthur Morgan

When Arthur commits a crime, like robbing a train or strangers, he usually pulls his bandana up to cover his face. However, it would make sense for Arthur to have a whole outfit just for a crime. The perfect outfit that goes for committing a crime is an all-black outfit, maybe with a black duster coat. An outfit for committing a crime will also look good with the bandit accessories that are rewarded when Red Dead Redemption 2 bandit challenges are completed.

The bandit bandolier, bandit holster, bandit off-holster, and bandit gun belt are all black. They go well with most outfits, but also serve as a reminder of Arthur’s profession in Red Dead Redemption 2. If Arthur was to change his belt and holsters, these would probably be the ones he would use.

RDR2 - The Best Clothes For Arthur To Wear In Saint Denis

Arthur is not a fancy man or dresser in Red Dead Redemption 2, but there are several missions in the game where Arthur must dress up in a suit and attend a fancy event. He looks out of place at these events and in the suit, but if Arthur was to willingly wear a fancy outfit it would have to be a functional one. The best coat to fit this description is the Shotgun Coat.

While the Shotgun Coat is one of the more ornate coats, it may not be enough to keep Mary and Arthur Morgan together in RDR2. However, the coat is capable of hiding a shotgun in an inside pocket. Pairing the Shotgun Coat with some of the fancier pants, hats, and shirts can elevate Arthur’s appearance in Red Dead Redemption 2. The ornate detail in the coat combined with the pocket for a shotgun makes this a reliable coat that Arthur may wear to fancy events.
