The distinctive hatband was removed from Clint Eastwood's hat and transferred onto Charles Bronson's hat. The base hat had the brim banding removed, the brim completely reshaped, a new hole added to the brim, and was then given to Jason Robards for his character Cheyenne. The hat is almost unrecognizable after it's reshaping but the sweat stains, and the bullets holes in the front and top of Cheyenne's hat, when scrutinized closely in high definition, are an identical match and remove any doubts that it is indeed the exact same hat that Clint Eastwood wore.
