[WAYNE, John.]
The Duke's famous costume from "True Grit"
Wine colored cotton long sleeve shirt with fabric-backed, lined swede vest, with collars, and elaborate embroidering worn by Wayne in his Oscar-winnning performance in "True Grit". The vest shows some whitening on the front, almost as sweat stains and salt. This vest has true grit written all over it. The label reads "Western Costume Co Hollywood No. 2249-3 Name John Wayne Chest 49 Sleeve 36 Collar 18 1/2." With a still from the film showing Wayne wearing the ensemble. The ultimate Western legend, John Wayne takes a darker look at the man on the frontier. Overweight, heavy drinking and shy one eye, Wayne plays marshall Rooster Cogburn, a man with the true grit needed to thrive in the primitive and violent world of the western frontier. One of his best performances. This costume appears in numerous scenes, and is one of the most highly evocative we have seen. (2)
