This very rare Tombstone Doc Holliday Stetson Hat is very similar to the one Val Kilmer wore in his outstanding performance as the iconic gunfighter and gambler and Val has personally hand-signed the hat with an added 'DOC' inscription during his signing with Celebrity Authentics. Handcrafted in the U.S.A., this Stetson beauty represents the ultimate mix of Western heritage and modern versatility. A proprietary fur-felt blend gives it a substantial feel and stiffness, which offers a more secure fit and helps it retain its shape come rain or shine. With its western-style crown and 2 ¾” bound-edge brim, it transitions from country to city.
1993's Tombstone is a top-notch Western, and Val Kilmer's performance as real-life gunslinger Doc Holliday is a vital part of what makes it so good. Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday is nothing short of legendary. He captures the character's calm demeanor, which also has a certain level of volatility and viciousness bubbling beneath the surface at all times. Like Al Pacino's Michael in The Godfather series, Tom Hardy's Forrest in 2012's Lawless, and a variety of other iconic characters, it's this quietly violent nature that makes him all the more deadly. Kilmer's Holliday has also become famous for his smart-aleck lines, which are delivered dripping in a southern drawl. One of the most notable scenes - which is densely packed with memorable one-liners - is his shootout with outlaw Johnny Ringo, where he shows up in Earp's place to save his life. The sequence features his smugly sinister fan favorite, "I'm your Huckleberry." - Screenrant. This incredible piece ships affixed with Celebrity Authentics serial-numbered and tamper evident Authentication Hologram and includes Celebrity Authentics Certificate of Authenticity.
