Theres a typo in your description. It says long long not long lost.

[@elanman608]

Interesting they mentioned Sir Christopher Frayling calling the duster a cowboys armour. He is such a Clint Eastwood fan that when he was Knighted he chose as his motto "PERGE SCELUS MIHI DIEM PERFICIAS", which can be translated as "Proceed, varlet, and let the day be rendered perfect for my benefit" ie "Go ahead punk make my day".

[@voiceofraisin3778]

Or 'Fabricati Diem, Punc' to quote Sam Vimes.

[@Guillaume-b5r]

Amazing!I noticed the patterns of this shirt only last time I saw the movie(for the 50th time) and now it's in your show...Thank you!❤

[@thanksfernuthin]

It's great that the guy is such a huge Clint Eastwood fan. His passion is infectious.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

7:31 Very nice shot of the chain mail being made in Japanese style and not in the historical European style, which was (and is) a very common thing to do for prop mail armor because it films really, really well.

[@GeneCash]

Holy crap. This is a favorite movie from when I was a little boy. Can't wait to get a chance to watch the video.

[@kingoftadpoles]

One of my old Uni buddies would love to see this. He was a huge fan, to the extent that 'Clint' was his nickname. My Grandpa worked on the set of Cleopatra.

[@mujone]

Best spaghetti western movie ever made!!!!

[@heiner71]

I prefer "Once Upon a Time in the West"

[@Wanton110]

I'd assume the sleeves would be short to make sure they don't interfere with the use of their guns

[@donniemontoya9300]

Looks damn good for 60 years.

[@iMadrid11]

The Clint Eastwood duster must be worn by background extras when rented out. So it didn’t get a lot of wear.

[@DavidLeeKersey]

5:15 Sorry Adam, while A Fistful of Dollars is the same plot of Yojimbo, A Few Dollars More is not the same plot as Sanjuro.

[@davidlambert1170]

Scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned this. For a Few Dollars More is more indebted to Vera Cruz, The Bounty Hunter & The Bravados than Sanjuro. I'm certain Leone didn't want to get sued by Kurosawa again, haha

[@chris-townson]

Have we seen Ace Rimmer's ship (6 seconds in) featured on the channel yet?

[@ClintonAllenAnderson]

What a smeeeeeee heeeeeee!

[@JolynBowler]

The armor is amazing. Thank you. 💙🌻💙

[@mickdaggy4091]

I just watched this movie for the first time this week.

[@johnpaulmolloy8127]

Crazy good condition

[@Or_else_it_gets_the_hose_again]

How many people out there recognize Ace Rimmer's ship Wildfire from Red Dwarf in the opening montage?

[@christopherjahn2044]

Thanks, I was trying to remember where I'd seen it.

[@Mixxie67]

The construction of that is gorgeous.

[@geraldstiling3735]

The same costumes used for Cleopatra..were used for Carry on Cleo with Sid James 😂🎉

[@ray.watts.44]

Just imagine if Clint's duster was actually first used in Carry On Cowboy 🤣

[@davidrenton]

@@ray.watts.44 Sid James and Clint could be twins it's uncanny :)

[@swampface]

eye spy a Red Dwarf prop!!!

[@2009numan]

looked extremely clean to say it was used in the movie all that time ago

[@e.scottdaugherty8291]

Wow, watta wayback moment. I was 9 when the original came out. Thanks for this.

[@CyclingGeo]

I didn’t even remember the shirt having that pattern. That’s actually ages really well and I could see myself wearing something like that. I’m also not entirely sure if I was even aware that the film was a part of a trilogy.

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

It’s wild to me that you could have conceivably walked in to costume rental business, rented and kept a Clint original costume for a few bucks if you knew what it was.

[@wanglydiaplt]

Hey it was cool seeing you visited Cutting Edge Engineering. I hope you brought squeaky toys for Homeless! 🙂

[@garychaiken808]

Great job guys. Awesome find. Thank you 😊

[@budm9982]

That duster and THE trilogy are as iconic as Clint Eastwood himself.

[@nathkrupa3463]

Great work sir

[@Mixxie67]

I’m big Westerns fan. I’ve seen My Name is Nobody many times since first seeing it as a kid. But somehow, I’m fairly certain anyway, I’ve never seen “The Good the Bad and the Ugly”. Still recignized this as a Clint Eastwood costume despite that. I have seen “A Fistful of Dollars”.

[@atlasprime6193]

This is such a great view of the outfit, now it’ll be so easy for everyone to recreate it in RDR2.

[@modelcitizen1977]

Deadpool 3 was my favorite 3td film

[@cedhome7945]

The greatest entrance of all time (cleopatra) give yourself a 3h treat and watch it 👍

[@Polecat-pc5oc]

Sleeves might of been short being a white dust would show gunpowder burns from using guns.

[@thegodofhellfire]

Wow! I wonder how much this is going for.

[@ScottHebertArt]

Starting: £30,000 Estimate: £60,000 - £120,000

[@thegodofhellfire]

@ScottHebertArt better put my wallet away...

[@jonathanmcintyrephotography]

The best movie ever!!!!

[@DecanFrost]

Oh i guessed wrong on that Title, though we were going to see one of Adam's creations from Cowboys vs Aliens.

[@billbucktube]

What a find‼️

[@MinorLG]

Surprised you haven't done a spot on heritage auctions power rangers lot

[@alexnewbold8823]

Adam savage for pope.

[@davidrenton]

obviously they forgot about Police Academy which just got better and better

[@VonZipper624]

Do a tour of prop warehouse please

[@dfdemt]

I’m not sure that just “freeze framing” the movie at various points and then looking at the garments is enough to say that they’re authentic. They seem to be in WAY too good of a condition to be 60 years old AND having been rented out to numerous movies in between.

[@stevedickson5853]

I can almost smell Clints cigars ..

[@gussnarp]

Wow. This is not a thing I could ever afford to own, but if I did, I think I'd actually wear it. Mainly because 99% of costumes would never fit me, but this would.

[@Saavik256]

Eastwood stood 6'4 in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

[@1jotun136]

You don't want loose cuffs hanging in the way when you're trying to draw a pistol

[@AndreVandal]

I don't remember this jacket form the movie, the shirt yes

[@Thomas_Esson]

He wears it in most of his early scenes, up until about the hour mark when Tuco marches him across the desert.

[@icychill105]

Everything i know about cowboy armor i learned from marty mcfly

[@andrewg6373]

I wonder what the difference between a Duster and a Frock Coat are? Before I watched this, I thought, "I wonder whose Frock Coat that was?"

[@UKCheeseFarmer]

I thought it was Columbo's... 🤣

[@martymcpeak4748]

is there ever any props from the tv show Supernatural come through?

[@Thomas_Esson]

I've definitely seen stuff come to market. If you Google around you should find some relevant auctions and vendors, though it is one of those unfortunate single-word titles that can make searching a bit of a pain.

[@michaeldean1934]

How about a 4th film being best? STII:The Wrath of Kahn is better than the first and STIV:The Voyage Home is arguably better than #2.....

[@Theduckwebcomics]

That's not really a "duster" anyway, it's a frock coat.

[@Cahos_Rahne_Veloza]

I'm so in-love with that Awesome Video Thumbnail of Adam Savage looking Absolutely Thicc 😘

[@moonshoes11]

Marty McFly had better armor, me thinks.

[@scotttovey]

I don't buy the trilogy, prequel claim as Eastwood did not bear the same character name in all three movies. Even though technically, Eastwood did portray all three characters with the same disposition. A Fist Full Of Dollars Joe A Few Dollars More Monco The Good The Bad And The Ugly Blondy

[@easterriot1916]

Exactly, not a trilogy at all.

[@tulsatrash]

Damn it, this is about metaphorical armor, not literal armor. I'm so disappointed.

[@ThomasDuffney]

Sad that it's going on auction never to be seen in public again.

[@Thomas_Esson]

Or they'll return to market in a few years; happens a lot. Or loaned to museums, eventually donated, or either a museum itself or a generous benefactor could bid (most high-end props and costumes are still a drop in the bucket compared to the fine art world). But even black-hole collections are a double-edged sword; sales like these are largely responsible for prompting museums and - very gradually - the general public to finally see enduring value in this material.

[@Redswipe]

You have a very negative attitude. It's amazing they were so well preserved and are being shown publicly now on here. Be grateful for that instead of telling other people what they should do with their property.

[@andtastic1]

just checked some movie scenes and the coats don't match??

[@Thomas_Esson]

Can you please explain specifics?

[@NamNguyen-zi6dn]

@@Thomas_Esson I watched the good the bad the ugly in the remastered version many times. I assure you that Blondie's duster was exactly olive green! The easiest way to compare is by looking at his white beige hat.

[@NamNguyen-zi6dn]

That's right!

[@Thomas_Esson]

@@NamNguyen-zi6dn Are you a collector? Because on-screen color can be notoriously unreliable. Between lighting, film stock and color timing, costumes and props can easily be mistaken for a different hue than in reality, and there are many well-known examples of this.

[@easterriot1916]

Its not a trilogy! They are not connected at all except starring Clint eastwood. The whole trilogy concept was an afterthought made up by distributors.

[@TheodoraBrass]

I wonder if it made an appearance in any of the Trinity movies.

[@writerpatrick]

It may be armor but it can't stop a bullet. Then again, plate armor can't really do that either.

[@joeurbanowski321]

Provenance..?

[@Redswipe]

It came from the prop house who supplied it for the movie

[@Thomas_Esson]

Why post this question before bothering to watch the video? It's addressed a minute and a half in.

[@ed_halley]

Anyone else getting tired of all the prop auction advertising? It must be paying Adam a ton of money but it's gotten ridiculous. Build stuff. Incognito con suits. The drone testing episode was good.

[@GeneCash]

> Anyone else getting tired of all the prop auction advertising? NOPE! I am here for it! I can't buy theses props, but I can enjoy Adam geeking out over them.

[@Thomas_Esson]

@@pemo2676 Very well said. Also, Adam doesn't get paid for these videos; it's simply a win-win arrangement.

[@dudepersonvids]

Adam often has not just respect and admiration for these pieces but nuts and bolts institutional knowledge of how they may have been made. I want to see his reaction and his take on examining these pieces up close and in person. These videos are not just propstore ads - their value goes way beyond that in my opinion.
