True Grit Rooster Cogburn Jeff Bridges Hat/ Custom Block
From the box office smash, critically acclaimed award winning Coen Brother's "True Grit" (2010), this is a grand collectable set! First, one of Jeff Bridge's screen worn hero iconic "Rooster Cogburn" hats, aged and completed with the infamous crown pinch hole. This hat was created by the Legendary Baron Hats Studios for the movie, known for over fifty years as the leader in most of the famous hats for TV, Movies, Rock Stars and Celebrities. In fact, they made the first Rooster Cogburn "True Grit" hat for John Wayne in the original movie (they were the hat maker of choice for many of Wayne's movies and for his personal collection). Baron's also made the hats for the other main characters in this version of "True Grit", including Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), LeBoeuf (Matt Damon), Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) and many others. Jeff Bridges' hat was hand crafted by Master Hatter Mark Mejia. It includes the actual one-of-a-kind custom hat block, created by measuring 28 points of Jeff's head with Baron's own unique "conformature". This is the actual block created and used to craft his hats. It is signed by Master Hatter Mark Mejia, and has his hand written notes: "ROOSTER COGBURN - TRUE GRIT - JEFF BRIDGES - HERO" written on it. The hat and block comes in the original Baron Hat custom hatbox used to transport it to and from production. Along with copies of some of the original production notes, signed by Jeff Bridges. This is the first hero hat and custom block ever offered by Mr. Mejia or Baron Hats in an auction (you can see many of their famous hero hats at their Hollywood Hat Museum at their studios in Burbank, CA, or check them out at www.baronhats.com). It comes with a Letter of Provenience from Mark Mejia and the Baron Hats Studios.
