"Grouch" Douglass's (Michael Madsen) "Joe Gage" costume from Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight. Douglass wore his costume while masquerading as cowboy Joe Gage on his way to, and in, Minnie's Haberdashery.
The Hateful Eight was extensively critically acclaimed, earning three Academy Award® nominations. Its ensemble cast was particularly well-praised, with Madsen earning notice from such awards bodies as the Critics Choice Awards and the International Cinephile Society.
This costume consists of a black beaver felt Stetson cowboy hat (Size 7 5/8) with brown leather inner lining, a braided and fringed black leather adjuster, serial number "RF956358," and an interior label hand-marked "Joe Gage Hero #1"; a rust-colour cotton bandana; a black leather single-breasted vest with black cotton lining; a blue cotton Ralph Lauren long-sleeve shirt with orange horseshoe patterns and a pearlescent snap-button closure; a sheer red cotton blend J. Crew long-sleeve henley (Size XL) with metal buttons; a pair of brown leather lace-up gauntlets with brass eyelets; black leather Gaspar gloves (Size 10); a flower-patterned brown leather belt with a brass buckle hand-marked "40"; black Levi's bootcut jeans (Size 38x36); and tan leather Nocona boots (U.S. Size 11) with decorative leaf-patterned stitching, snow spikes affixed under the soles, and "Joe Gage Spikes Snow" hand-marked on their interiors.
Also included is a production wardrobe tag labelled "Joe Gage (Grouch Douglass)" and "Clean #4," as well as a colour-printed behind-the-scenes still of Madsen in costume on the Haberdashery set. The costume is intentionally distressed by production with faded colours, cracked leather, and minor grime applied to appear well-worn and exposed to elements.
