True Grit 55th Anniversary Special 3-Piece Gold Handle Mug Series (PREORDER)
Celebrate the 55th anniversary of True Grit (1969) with this exclusive three-piece John Wayne Gold Handle Mug Series, inspired by John Wayne's legendary tradition of gifting gold handle mugs to his cast and crew as a “thank you” after filming. Each 11 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, and the film for which John Wayne won an Oscar.
Exclusive Series Pricing: Pre-order the full set for $225, a total savings of $30 compared to buying each mug individually at $85. Mug 1 ships in November, Mug 2 ships in February, and Mug 3 ships in May.
Mug 1: Rooster
The first in the series, this mug captures the gritty essence of John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn. Featuring an iconic image of Wayne as the unforgettable marshal alongside the famous quote, “Lookin' Back is a Bad Habit,” this piece is a must-have for any fan. Hand-painted details make each mug as unique as the Duke himself. Ships the week of Nov. 25, 2024, just in time for the holidays.
Mug 2: Oscar
Honoring Wayne’s Academy Award win for his performance in True Grit, the second mug celebrates this milestone moment with bold, commemorative artwork. Featuring the word “Grit” over an Oscar-inspired statue of the Duke, this design is perfect for awards season. The mug also includes the phrase “Beginner’s Luck”—a playful nod to what Wayne reportedly whispered to Barbra Streisand after his win. Ships the week of Feb. 3, 2025, aligning with Valentine's Day and the Oscars Ceremony.
Mug 3: Ethan
The final mug in the series offers a heartfelt tribute to John Wayne and his son Ethan, featuring artwork inspired by a behind-the-scenes moment from True Grit, where both father and son wore eye patches.
