Woody Harrelson is best known for light romantic comedies like Cheers and Will & Grace, but he is an excellent dramatic actor who pulls off action adventure heros as well as transvestites and porn kings. In fact, he was nominated for an academy award for his portrayal of Larry Flynt. Harrelson's performances in Malick's Thin Red Line as Keck were so riveting that they actually made the final cut of the film. The original cut ran over 6 hours and resulted in many members of the ensemble cast being cut entirely. Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, Bill Pullman, Lukas Haas, Viggo Mortensen and Mickey Rourke were cut completely and George Clooney and John Travolta were cut to cameos. Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody's role was also cut very short. In contrast, Woody had some very meaty scenes remain, including a very compelling scene (wearing this uniform) in which he realizes that he has mistakenly pulled the pin from grenade. As a BONUS, there is what appears to be the grenade or safety pin from the film found in the uniform pants, AND earplugs worn and unworn left in the shirt/jacket pocket!

For your consideration, is this vintage WWII uniform worn by Mr. Harrelson in The Thin Red Line. It is tan cotton which looks much darker in the screencaps as the uniform is wet. Costumer's tag is attached bearing Harrelson's name and the costumer has written his character name inside the pieces. The outfit has been intentionally distressed for the film with fake dirt and blood. Clearly it has not been laundered since it was worn during filming. Mineral oil was used to make it look more battle worn and to help weatherproof the actors. It has been professionally valued at $2,995-$3,495 and would make an amazing display piece. It comes with 2 Certificates of Authenticity and a much more affordable price of $265.
