"A" is ass-hugging

Annie Proulx and Ang Lee made sure that Jack and Ennis were beloved by readers and moviegoers for their emotional story, but their sharp cowboy hats, cool Western shirts, macho boots and ass-hugging jeans had their effect, too.

"B" is blouse

     "Ennis, please, no more damn lonesome ranches for us," she said, sitting on his lap, wrapping her thin, freckled arms around him.  "Let's get a place here in town?"
     "I guess," said Ennis, slipping his hand up her blouse sleeve and stirring the silky armpit hair, then easing her down, fingers moving up her ribs to the jelly breast, over the round belly and knee and up into the wet gap all the way to the north pole or the equator depending which way you thought you were sailing, working at it until she shuddered and bucked against his hand and he rolled her over, did quickly what she hated.  They stayed in the little apartment which he favored because it could be left at any time

Some of the off-the-rack clothes used in the film were from Wrangler, Rockmount and Carhartt.

"D" is diametrically

Lureen's and Alma's styles of dress were diametrically opposed: one looked sharp, the other flat.

Q:  Is that Mrs. Twist in the front yard, and is that Ennis in the background pointing up at the house's gable?



A:  No, it's our lovely Meryl and Paul!

Jack will always be remembered for his indigo-hued denim shirt.

When we were at the Twist house, the angle of the sun made it look like the light was coming from Jack's bedroom.
