It is the "Holy Grail" of western memorabilia. Perhaps no other figure in film history better represents the rugged western lifestyle than John Wayne. For your bidding pleasure, here we present a beautiful Stetson Hat, custom designed by famed Hollywood western tailor Nudie Cohen for none other than "The Duke" himself. The hat, which exhibits light usage, features custom engravings on the inner leather lining which include Wayne's name as well as the designation for his 26-Bar Ranch in Eagar, Arizona. The hat is well preserved and housed in the original Stetson hat box. Originally acquired from Wayne via his long time friend and legendary western stuntman John "Bear" Hudkins, and is accompanied by a detailed Letter of Authenticity which outlines the hat's origins. Impressive!
