THanks for your gareat information.

The bad feeling of my heart is wipe out considerably by your appropriate message.

I was able to find the next description in a book The Official JW Refernce Book
by Charles John Kieskalt.
It is in P.140,Author"s Note: In True Grit,Wayne wears Gary Cooper"s silver and leather western hatband. This was a gift to Director Henry Hathaway from Cooper,a close friend.

I don"t understand whether the hat used in True Grit is the same is it in El Dorado,
but will not there be a very interesting relationship?
Gary Cooper-Henry Hathaway-John Wayne.


P.S. In Angel and the Badman(1947), Duke wears a hat with silver band,i fond.

Hi erthomp143

Dude? Dean Martin in Rio Bravo?
may be he said what you mentiond.
but,in Rio Bravo, Duke is the big guy with the battered hat.
I made mention of Duke 's hat band in El Dorado as poster below .
I heard this silver band was gifted to Duke by Gary Cooper.
is it true?

Hello everyone,

In El Dorado,Duke's cowboyhat has a hat band of silver work.
In other his films,It's not recalled to have seen this.
It might be unusual that he uses this.
Is there any reasons why he used this though it doesn't whether
this is his private poperty?
Does anybody know why?
