John’s Red Dead Redemption 1 trench coat
Do you miss the classic "Red Dead Redemption 1" windbreaker? Are you disappointed with the cut of your new trench coat? Then this mod is for you! It brings John's classic trench coat back to Red Dead Redemption 2, replacing the "Eastern Legends" jacket in the game.
✨ Module Features
- **Classic Reappearance** 🎩: Bringing John’s iconic trench coat look from “Red Dead Redemption 1” back to “Red Dead Redemption 2”.
- **Material Upgrade** 🧵: Since it is impractical to extract textures directly from old games, this mod uses a unique leather texture and greatly improves the normal map, allowing clear details to be seen even after zooming in.
- **Version Backtrack** ⏮️: If you don’t like the color and other choices of the current version, the compressed package also contains all old versions without obvious problems for you to choose from.
- **Continuous Improvement** 🔄: The author stated that this is a learning process and plans to take time in the next few weeks to completely remake this mod from scratch, focusing on solving the wear effect and resolution issues of the jacket.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
If you plan on using other shotgun jackets in the game, please note: those older files that use the tartan jacket with red lapels may have their normal and normal maps affected by all shotgun jackets.
🛠️ About details
The author took some liberties during the restoration process:
*Button design is a personal preference, as the original RDR1 trench coat seems to have no buttons.
*Colors have been re-adjusted and may not be final yet.
- The author is learning RDR2 mod making, so this mod is more like a test.
📝 Author's words
Sorry if the wear effect doesn't look good on your end, I'm just not very good at dealing with normal maps.
This project has been put back on the schedule! We look forward to bringing a more perfect classic trench coat experience in the future "remastered version".
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
