Clint Eastwood settles debate on the true colour of his iconic poncho:

After nearly 50 years of speculation, Clint Eastwood has finally revealed the true color of his famous poncho from the Dollars Trilogy. Responding to a fan’s question on X (formerly Twitter), the legendary actor put the mystery to rest.

“‘Dear “Blondie”‘, the fan asked, ‘…What is the REAL COLOR of your [poncho] in the Good, Bad, Ugly?…Sometimes Brown sometimes Olive Green on the screens.'”

Eastwood’s answer was definitive: “Hello, I only had one Poncho, and it was reversible, with Olive green on one side and brown on the other. Thank You!”

The 93-year-old’s iconic portrayal of the unnamed cowboy in Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns made him a star. He wore that same poncho in “A Fistful of Dollars”, “For A Few Dollars More”, and “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”.

Fans were quick to share their own theories, even after Eastwood’s revelation. “I had a shirt like this…In the sunlight it was medium brown,” one user shared. Others attributed the color variations to the film stock used.

Eastwood, who still owns the poncho, revealed in a 2020 interview, “I still have that, yeah… it’s sitting in a glass case. Never been washed.”

The nonagenarian filmmaker remains active in the industry, currently directing and producing “Juror No. 2” – a thriller rumored to be his last film.
