Cole Hauser Yellowstone Vest – Rip Wheeler’s Vest

Featured Styles: Cole Hauser Yellowstone Vests That Nail the Rip Wheeler Vibe

We’ve recreated the iconic brown vest Cole Hauser wears as Rip Wheeler—down to the cut, the texture, and that lived-in ranch-hand feel. No cheap pleather. No off-the-rack shortcuts.

1. Classic Rip Wheeler Brown Leather Vest (Full-Grain Cowhide)

• Color: Earthy saddle brown with natural grain variation
• Style: Sleeveless western workwear vest with angled yoke and snap closures
• Details: Two chest pockets with snap flaps, interior pocket, adjustable side laces
• Best for: Daily wear, cosplay, ranch days, fall layering over flannels

2. Suede Ranch Vest (Softer, Casual Look)

• Made from premium brown suede—softer drape, matte finish
• Same Rip-inspired cut but more relaxed for city or casual wear
• Pairs perfectly with denim shirts or plain tees

3. Distressed “Working Ranch” Edition

• Pre-worn with light scuffing, creasing, and faded stitching
• Looks like it’s seen a few rodeos, fence repairs, and late-night barn talks
• Fan favorite for serious Yellowstone cosplayers and collectors

All vests come in sizes XXS to XXXL, with actual chest and length measurements listed—so you’re not guessing based on “M” or “L.”

Why This Yellowstone Vest Actually Holds Up

We didn’t just copy a screenshot. This vest is built by folks who’ve worn western gear to ranch cons, studied Yellowstone screen caps, and tested materials in real weather.

• Real leather: Full-grain or top-grain cowhide (not bonded or synthetic)—breathable, tough, ages beautifully
• Authentic hardware: Antique brass snaps and adjustable side laces that function like the original
• True Rip fit: Slightly tapered through the waist, not boxy—designed to layer over shirts without bulk
• No logos, no branding: Just clean, character-accurate design—because Rip doesn’t wear merch
• Verified by fans: Worn at Yellowstone fan meetups, western festivals, and even real ranch work

This is a functional workwear vest first—TV tribute second. Which means you can wear it without looking like you’re in costume.

Real Questions, Straight Answers

Q: Is this an official Yellowstone licensed product?
A: It’s a fan-made replica inspired by Rip Wheeler’s on-screen vest. We don’t claim official licensing, but we prioritize screen accuracy and durable materials that real fans—and ranchers—appreciate.

Q: How’s the fit compared to regular vests?
A: It’s cut like authentic western workwear—fitted through the torso, with room to move. If you usually wear slim fits, stick to your size. If you plan to layer over thick flannels, consider sizing up.

Q: Can I wear this outside of cosplay or fan events?
A: Absolutely. The clean lines, earthy brown leather, and functional pockets make it a versatile men’s vest. People wear it with jeans, work shirts, or even under a coat for fall.

Q: What kind of leather is used? Do I need to condition it?
A: Full-grain cowhide or premium suede—both durable but natural. We recommend a leather conditioner every 2–3 months to protect against drying and cracking, especially in dry or cold climates.

Q: Do you ship worldwide? How fast?
A: Yes—express delivery in 3–6 business days globally. Tracking included. No hidden fees.
