"A Hanging Offense"

"The Price of Revenge"

Basic First Season Outfit
After the pilot, Buck loses the short black leather vest and appears in his signature long black epaulet vest that remains his trademark for the first three seasons.  He begins the season wearing a light colored scarf and light colored belt and holster worn over the long black vest.  Midway in the first season he changes to a dark colored belt with the same holster.   This new gun belt is worn over his tunic shirt, but not over the vest.  The holster tie downs are usually left loose.

"Tiger by the Tail"

"Champion of the Western World"
The pinstripe pants of the pilot have been replaced with solid black pants that remain for the series.  He wears leather gloves most - though certainly not all - of the time, and they vary from light to dark, but that would occur naturally since these guys would have gone through a lot of pairs of gloves. 
       


"Bad Day for a Thirst"


"Bad Day for a Thirst"


"Threshold of Courage"


"The Filibusteros"

His scarf shows up in a variety of knots, sometimes different even in the same episode, as in "Bad Day for a Thirst" pictured above.  The knot positions also varied, with the scarf sometimes rolled, sometimes unfolded in front, sometimes unfolded off to one side, and sometimes untied just hanging loose.  He is only rarely seen without it, and then only when he is dressed down at the beginning or end of the day.  His hair in the first season is quite blond.

"Mark of the Turtle"


"The Kinsman"


"The Peacemaker"

The hat has a blue beaded band, often with a feather in it, that is the same throughout the first season and part of the second.  Midway through the second season the hat changes to a different bead band and a slightly smaller brim. The ammo arm band is a staple throughout the series.  The leather wrist band is present in the first and fourth seasons, but is not apparent with the long sleeves of the second and third.


"Mark of the Turtle"


"The Assassins"


"The Kinsman"


"Survival"

His shirt for the first three seasons is a collarless pullover that buttons about halfway down.  It is a long yoked tunic shirt, sometimes worn tucked in and sometimes worn outside his pants. 


"The Assassins"
The casual approach to carrying a pistol.


"The Filibusteros"
One of many occasions
to get wet.


"Bad Day for a Thirst"
The scarf has been used here on a leg wound.


"The Widow from Redrock"
No scarf makes the collarless shirt clearer.

Special Outfit
In Buck's only special outfit of the first season, he acquiesces to Victoria's wishes, combs his hair, and wears the shirt that she has picked out for him to wear for dinner.  Oddly enough he never feels moved to wear it again.


"Gold is Where You Leave It"


"The Filibusteros"
Just liked the picture.
