Gable’s screen-worn jacket from The Misfits. Beige western-style jacket has six metal buttons on the front, two breast pockets, and bears a Lee Westerner manufacturer’s label, is 100% cotton, and is a size 46 Regular. Accompanied by a photo of Gable on the set in the jacket posing with the recipient of the jacket. Also accompanied by a matte-finish 8 x 10 photo of Gable from The Misfits, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, “To Charles [Coffman] & Evelyn, Best wishes always, Clark.” In fine condition, with a bit of expected light wear and soiling to jacket.
In the film, Gable played the role of Gay Langland, a wayward cowboy who falls for Marilyn Monroe, an attractive divorcee. The Misfits, shot on location in the Nevada desert flats, has the distinction of being Gable’s final film, as well as the final film completed before Marilyn Monroe’s death in 1962. It has been conjectured that the stress brought about by Monroe’s difficulty on set contributed to the heart attack Gable suffered days after filming ended.
This jacket was originally presented to Gable’s driver during filming, Charles Coffman, and is attested to by the presence of the photograph signed and inscribed to him, as well as the photograph of Gable wearing the jacket on set with Coffman. The usual studio labels are not present, as Gable actually purchased the jacket directly from a store in town, a special occurrence that is fondly remembered by its residents. A most desirable relic from a film many critics, as well as Gable himself, agree to be the actor’s finest work.
