John Marston is a rugged, sharp-featured man with collar-length dark hair and a faint goatee that grows into stubble over time. His face is marked by prominent scars from a wolf attack in 1899. Initially, he's seen wearing a thick black coat and later bandages covering the wounds. His typical outfit includes a grey shotgun coat, black shirt, orange leather vest, and light grey trousers. Over time, his look matures, reflecting his shift from outlaw to a man seeking redemption and a stable family.
