Just had the pleasure of watching Anthony Mann's classic "Winchester 73". Great movie - and a great jacket worn by James Stewart. I doubt it is period correct - but it looks great:

Classic Levi's type II jacket from the 50's. LVC makes repos http://caliroots.com/c-store/product.asp?id=32610
Love the Type II - my favourite denim jacket ever! But Jimmy's jacket only has one pocket - so it is probably a type I ? Funny to see it in a movie that takes place in the late 1800s.

Oops, I knew a denim head would get me set straight.
Probably not a 1873 Winchester, either.......
Pleated front denim jackets (or blouses as they were know) were on sale in the late 1800's but Jimmy's is by the looks of things a 506 Levis made from 1936-42.
Yeah, what you sees nothing, I got a Balinese dancing girl tattooed across my chest...

Three 1873 rifles were rebuilt for the movie, none were the legendary 1 of 1000! One of the lesser caricatures in the shooting competition has an 1892, way wrong for the mid 1870s time frame! I guise if it was good enough for the Duke. I always thought the 92 was a little to unmacho, where as the 73, 76 and 86 were much more substantial rifles.
