"T" is tanned

In the opening scenes, Ennis's identification with the color brown is set up by his tan jacket with the tanned leather collar and his light brown cowboy hat.



=compliment=Sandy
Nicely put

"U" is unmentionables

In the back seat of LD's car, Lureen sported some black lacy unmentionables.  Although she didn't wear them for long, now that you mention it.

Joe Aguirre, Jack, Ennis, and one of the bikers all wore vests at some point in the movie.

Thanks.  I missed the obvious "V".

"W" is worn-out

Ennis wore his clean, but worn-out, clothes to the Monroe Thanksgiving dinner:

ENNIS dressed in a clean Levi's jacket and a bolo tie, his shirt collar threadbare.     [screenplay]

Lureen the rodeo queen flaunted the xpensiveness of her vibrant red rodeo outfit.

"A" is aftereffects
« Reply #10486 on: January 25, 2007, 04:58:29 pm »
When Ennis visited Jack's room at the Twist house, he was hardly expecting to find their old shirts hidden in the closet, both still showing the aftereffects of that last struggle on the mountain.

"B" is bib

Dressed in an old plaid shirt and bib overalls, Mr. Twist had nothing nice to say about his son, Jack, during Ennis's visit to Lightning Flat.

"C" is clothes

In Lureen's case, clothes made the woman - being the clothes-minded person she was.

A belated thank you.

"D" is dries
« Reply #10489 on: January 25, 2007, 05:56:05 pm »
The 2003 screenplay describes how Jack Twist washes and dries their laundry:

Clear day. Though it's summer, there is a biting little wind. Jack, wearing only his boots, is doing laundry. Shivers. Squats by the stream, carefully wrings out Ennis's only other shirt, a denim button-up western-style shirt, and hangs it on a long branch next to their combined wardrobes:  three pairs of Levi's, 2 shirts, two bandannas - no undergarments (neither wears socks or underwear).
