“Kayce’s hat tells us that he’s not just the ranch owner’s son, he also works hard and means business,” she says. In fact, it’s downright gross on close inspection, and that’s on purpose, according to Boone. In a show filled with dirty cowboy hats, none is filthier or more heavily stained than the hat worn by Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton. But now it’s curled in a way that says he’s been at this job for a long time.” When his hat started off, it was probably clean and black, and the shape was very rigid. “First of all, it’s completely morphed to the shape of his face because of the way he’s curled it over time, which tells us that he’s been wearing it nonstop every day on the ranch since he was a teenager. “Rip’s hat, for example, tells us a couple of things about him,” Boone says. Other times, it’s the style or the size of the hat that speaks the loudest. Often, it’s the material or the color that holds the key to understanding the message being delivered.
We might also take a torch to it, to burn off the clean hairs and break them down so you can really get the dirt into the fibers.”īoone says each cowboy hat worn by a major character on “Yellowstone” reveals something about who they are on the inside. “Our ager-dyer gets dirt from outside, and we rub it in with oil, because the oil from your head is what seeps through your hat from sweating.

“There’s actually something called movie dirt, which comes prepackaged, but the best thing you can do is use the natural elements from wherever you are,” she says. To give the cowboy hats on “Yellowstone” a lived-in feel, Boone uses several different methods to distress them. “He lives and breathes the cowboy world, and that’s what makes the show so good.” “Taylor is our authenticator,” Boone says. “He’s hardened in a way by just working the land.”Īuthenticity is also essential when it comes to the cowboy hats on “Yellowstone,” and Sheridan is the reason for that, according to the show’s costume designer, Johnetta Boone. “I loved using silver and gray, because there’s a coolness and a traditional sensibility to his character,” she says. It’s a super strong and masculine hat block, and that describes Harrison’s character perfectly.”Īs for the hat’s icy color, Bryant chose it as a way to reflect Jacob’s underlying personality. I just thought, on an instinctual level, that Montana slope was the right look for Jacob. “It’s a slope style that’s higher in the back and shorter in the front, and the slope goes down the center. “Harrison and I talked a lot about the different creases and hat blocks of the period, and the one I liked the most was the Montana peak,” Bryant says.
It features a wide brim rolled on both sides and a steep front dip, not unlike Robert Duvall’s famous hat from the 1989 miniseries “Lonesome Dove.”

In a series filled with impeccably designed cowboy hats, Ford’s large high-crowned gray hat is the one that captured the most attention. “1923” stars Harrison Ford as powerful Montana rancher Jacob Dutton, the great-granduncle of “Yellowstone’s” John Dutton. “We shot in a small town, and Bear would bring his camper to the studio and just make hats for us all day long, with different colors, different hat blocks, and different felts. “I feel blessed that we found Bear,” she says. Working closely with a local Montana hat maker named Bear, Bryant and her “1923” costume department produced a wide variety of cowboy hats for the series. The cowboy hats in that era were really big, and straw hats were not used at the time. “On ‘1923,’ I researched all the different types of hats that were worn in the twenties, and a little bit earlier as well. “I try to be as authentic to the period as possible, and to illuminate the character with the design of each hat,” she says. Bryant’s initial foray into designing Western costumes came in 2004 when she created the costumes for the acclaimed HBO series “Deadwood.” Her work on that show earned her an Emmy.
