Costume worn by John Wayne as Colonel Cord McNally in the 1970 film Rio Lobo. Costume consists of a slate blue long-sleeve cotton shirt, with a Western Costume Co. label which reads “No. 2869-3 / John Wayne #1 / Chest 48 1/2 / Sleeve 36 / Collar 17 5/8” together with a pair of light brown cotton pants, also bearing a Western Costume Co. label which reads, “No. 2466-2 / John Wayne / Waist 40 1/2 / Inseam 33.” Accompanied by a brown heavy-weight cotton stockade coat, with corduroy collar and cuffs, four large flap front pockets (one pocket has two pin holes where a badge would have been), and a four button front closure (though one is missing), American Costume stamp on inside right sleeve.

The trademark stockade jacket, blue shirt and tan pants, were all worn by Wayne in his final collaboration with legendary director Howard Hawks. Wayne wore the same costume pieces in many of his films from the early 60s. The pants date from that period, and were worn in El Dorado, with the jacket dating from the same period. The shirt is one from his cavalry uniform, which has been stripped of the yellow shoulder epaulets and front pockets. This same shirt was also worn in the 1969 film, The Undefeated. The distinctive stockade coat, recognizable by the rounded corners of its collar, can also be seen in one scene from Big Jake—where Wayne first meets Richard Boone at the campsite. This was one of four stockade coats he wore in nine of his last 11 films, with the label having been removed by his costumer Luster Bayless after Wayne’s death to prevent the jacket from being stolen. Such complete costumes from Wayne’s westerns are seldom offered for sale. All pieces originate from the John Wayne Estate Sale.
