At Outback Trading Co., we believe your gear should outperform anything you throw at it - and sometimes, even outshine. While our pieces are built for the backcountry, they clean up pretty well for the big moments too.
Case in point? Two of our incredible long time Brand Ambassadors, Rachel Long and Brian Harmse, just proved that Outback style belongs at the altar. They tied the knot in a one-of-a-kind wedding surrounded by some of the best wedding party a bride and groom could ask for. Horses, and wide-open skies. Brians choice for the big day? None other than our Jessie Vest.
Built for the Backcountry, Perfect for the Big Moments.
This got us thinking, what other pieces are made for multi-purpose use? Outback pieces were made for life outdoors, but their craftsmanship, flattering fits, and lived-in style make them perfect for any occasion — weddings included.
Here are some of our teams top picks for your special day.
The Jessie Vest
Equal parts tough and tailored, the Jessie Vest is your go-to for those days (and nights) when you want to look sharp without losing your edge.
Why It Works:
It walks the line between polished and practical. Layer it over your Sunday best for a wedding-ready western vibe, or pair it with denim and boots for your next weekend adventure. It’s the kind of piece you’ll wear for years.
The Troubadour Wool Hat in Silverbelly
Crafted from 100% Australian wool with a soft, ivory hue and classic teardrop crown. Finished with a vintage-inspired ribbon band and feather detail, it brings timeless western charm with a modern edge.
Why It Works:
For the bride who wants a little western edge with her ‘I do.’ This piece adds the perfect accent and rustic character to anything you wear on your big day.
The Santa Fe Wool Hat in Amber
Bold, warm, and made to turn heads — this hat isn’t here to play it safe. Crafted from rich toned wool, it’s finished with a rugged leather hatband and feather accent. The kind of hat that feels like the final touch to any unforgettable look.
Why It Works:
Amber stands out in all the right ways. It catches the sunset, pops against white, denim and leather, and adds instant character to any outfit. It’s the one piece in your lineup that doesn’t just finish your look — it makes it.
At Outback Trading Co., we’re all about creating pieces that last.
Seeing them show up in life’s biggest moments is what it’s all about. Our gear is made to move with you, tell your story, and look pretty dang good doing it.
Rachel summed it up best:
“We've trusted Outback to keep us warm & dry over winter, and to keep ourselves protected in the hot summer sun - it was only fitting to trust Outback for our wedding day too."
