THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966)
The Costumi D'Arte Collection: Blondie's (Clint Eastwood) Duster Coat
$75,000 - $150,000
This is Blondie's (Clint Eastwood) duster coat from Sergio Leone's classic epic Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Blondie - aka The Man With No Name - wore his duster during the first part of the film, as he teamed up with wanted criminal Tuco (Eli Wallach) to collect Tuco's bounty and then free him from multiple hangings. This lot comes from the archives of the Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte.

Dusters are an iconic Western garment, and Leone was a particular fan, with costume designer Carlo Simi reporting that "dusters were a mania of his". Quentin Tarantino, meanwhile, recounted that "Leone once said they were like a suit of armour".
