Winter Work & Western Wear Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed

Whether you’re mending fences or heading into town, staying warm and comfortable means choosing the right gear for the job. The best winter work and western accessories do more than look good. They keep you dry, warm, and moving, no matter how low the temperature drops.


Must-Have Winter Work Accessories

1. Gloves

Your hands do most of the work, so keeping them warm and protected is a must. A good pair of gloves combines warmth, grip, and durability, allowing you to work longer without feeling the cold.


  • Insulated gloves trap heat while still letting you move easily, making them perfect for handling tools, fencing, or feeding livestock.
  • Leather gloves are tough enough for rough materials and equipment, flexible enough for daily chores.

2. Socks

Nothing ruins a day faster than frozen feet. Thermal socks help lock in warmth and wick away sweat. Wilco carries brands like Railroad, Danner, and Wilfull Wear. Each is built for durability, comfort, and warmth that lasts all season. For extra protection, layer thermal socks with waterproof boots for a combo that keeps your feet dry and comfortable.


Thermal socks are available in various materials. Merino wool is a top choice for moisture control and insulation, even when wet. Cotton and poly blends offer a lighter, breathable option for milder winter days or indoor work.


And if you want a touch of personality, keep an eye out for fun Christmas socks coming soon, because warm feet can still be festive!

And when icy conditions hit, add Yaktrax Walker Winter Traction to your boots for extra grip on slick surfaces. They slip on easily and help prevent slips and falls while doing chores or loading up feed in the snow.

3. Beanies & Headbands

Keeping your head and ears covered goes a long way toward staying warm during winter chores. Get a beanie to slip on for those early mornings or late nights on the farm. Better yet, get one with a rechargeable LED light built in for when you need a bit of light.


Wilco also carries Carhartt styles featuring bold Aztec prints and classic colors that pair with your favorite flannels or jackets. They add a touch of western flair while still delivering the warmth and durability you expect from a hardworking brand.


Prefer something lightweight? Reach for a plush-lined headband to block cold winds while keeping your hair in place. Both options offer comfort, practicality, and a bit of style to get you through the coldest mornings.

4. Vests

Layering is your best defense against unpredictable weather. Insulated vests add warmth to your core without restricting movement. Top it off with a waterproof jacket for full protection against rain and wind.


This season also brings new and fun vest styles for both men and women, featuring fresh patterns and colors that add personality without sacrificing function. From earthy tones that blend right into the barnyard to bold plaids and bright accents that stand out, Wilco’s collection makes it easy to stay warm and look good doing it.

Must-Have Western Wear Accessories

1. Flannel Shirt

A good flannel shirt is the backbone of any winter wardrobe. It’s warm, soft, and tough enough to handle early winter mornings in the barn or chilly rides through the pasture.


Wilco offers a wide range of flannel styles and colors for men, women, and kids. Whether you prefer a bold check, subtle stripe, or soft neutral, there’s a flannel that suits your look and lifestyle. They’re perfect for layering under vests or jackets.

2. Coveralls & Overalls

For the jobs that require full coverage and durability, coveralls and overalls are hard to beat. They protect your clothes from mud, hay, and grease while keeping warmth close to your body.


Wilco carries brands like Key and Carhartt, available in both regular and insulated options to match your workday needs. The insulated styles help lock in heat without feeling bulky, so you can stay warm and move freely, no matter how long the job takes. You’ll find a variety of fits and fabrics in-store and online, making it easy to gear up for any weather.

3. Western Blankets

A quality blanket is more versatile than you might think. Toss one over your lap while driving the tractor, wrap up during a cold morning feed, or keep a few in the barn or truck for when temperatures dip fast.

Winter Layering Tips

When layering clothing, each piece plays a role in keeping you comfortable through early chores to late feedings.


  1. 1. Start with moisture-wicking base layers that pull sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry when the temperature drops.
  2. 2. Next, add flannels or insulated vests for warmth without bulk. These mid-layers trap heat and let you move freely.
  3. 3. Finally, top it off with durable outerwear designed for rough use, like a waterproof jacket or a lined coat that can withstand wind, mud, and snow.


The best part? You can mix work-ready function with classic Western style. A flannel under a vest and denim jacket feels just as at home on the ranch as it does in town.

Gear Up for a Warm and Productive Season

Cold weather doesn’t slow the work down. It just changes how you gear up. But with the right mix of winter accessories, you’ll stay warm, dry, and ready for the season.
