Which description best matches Rooster's clothing during that scene?

• A. He wore a deerskin jacket over his black suit coat and a belt gun outside his coat, with a revolver that had a wooden grip.
• B. He wore a bright red coat and no hat.
• C. He wore boots and a cape.
• D. He wore a linen shirt and trousers.

Answer: (A)

Costume details reveal a character’s rugged, action-ready role in a frontier setting. The description with a deerskin jacket over a black suit coat, a belt gun worn outside the coat, and a revolver with a wooden grip fits Rooster’s gritty, no-nonsense marshal persona. The deerskin suggests durability for rough terrain, the layered outfit shows preparedness, and carrying the gun outside the coat implies quick access and practicality rather than concealment. The other options clash with that tough, weathered image: a bright red coat with no hat would feel conspicuous and out of place for a wary frontier lawman; a cape doesn’t match the utilitarian, ready-for-action look; a linen shirt and trousers read as plain civilian attire rather than functional frontier gear. This description best matches the scene’s portrayal of Rooster’s practical, action-ready style.
