"Looking back is a bad habit." —John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn in True Grit (1969). John Wayne is pictured with his youngest son Ethan Wayne in Ridgway, Colorado on the set of the Western cinematic classic, True Grit. True Grit was the highest-grossing film of John Wayne’s career in which he had the lead role—only How the West Was Won (1962) and The Longest Day (1962) earned more in unadjusted figures. Celebrate the 55th anniversary of True Grit with the exclusive three-piece John Wayne Gold Handle Mug Series, inspired by Duke’s legendary tradition of gifting gold handle mugs to his cast and crew as a thank you after filming. Each 10 oz ceramic mug features a hand-painted 12 karat gold handle, John Wayne’s signature, and unique artwork crafted by Dougie Mann. Limited to only 400 pieces per design, this collector’s set is the ultimate tribute to one of the most enduring Westerns in cinematic history. The final mug in the series honors the bond between father and son, featuring artwork inspired by a behind-the-scenes moment from True Grit, where both John and Ethan Wayne wore eye patches—a nostalgic nod to legacy and family. A meaningful gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. Ships this week!
