At the start of the movie, Jessie complains about the horribly hot weather. A minute later she walks into her bedroom and the man in her bed is wearing thermal underwear.
Virtually everybody of that era wore long johns/union suits, not because of the cold, but for protection against chafing and cooling by wicking away moisture.

In the first scene in the stagecoach station, Russell is sitting at a table drinking mescal with the owner of the way station. Two of Russell's Apache friends are standing at the middle of the bar drinking mescal, when two cowboys come into the station and stand at the bar between the two Apaches and Russell's table. The camera angle from the right of the two Apaches pointed to the two cowboys and clearly shows Russell's table empty. When the camera angle switches from the table toward the cowboys and Apaches at the bar, Russell's table is occupied.
John Russell has black hair in the opening scenes, yet his hair changes color after it is cut. [Russell's hair is long but clearly brown and not black in the opening scenes before it is cut.]
Contrary to the posting about belt loops being invented in the 1920's.
They were around in the mid 1800's, but were rare.
Also contrary to the posting about the characters in this movie wearing thermal under wear is incorrect. In the time period of the 1800's, the Union Suit is just simply underwear. All men would have been wearing it.
Shotgun Shell were Brass, as well as Paper. Red shotgun shells are correct for the story.

When John Russell is coming to Delgado to see Mendez, in the background are 3 or 4 farm vehicles working in the distance. The sun can be seen gleaming from one of them as it moves through a dust cloud it is making.
Both Jessie and Doris are wearing modern brassieres, which weren't invented until 1914.
All the men's trousers had belt loops which wouldn't come into use until the 1920s.
The shotgun shells Mendez carries are a modern red plastic case. Period shells were brass cased.
John Russell's sidearm during the film is a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 7" barrel. However, in the final scene where Russell is on the ground exchanging shots with the vaquero, the revolver has changed to a modern (and not yet invented) large frame double action revolver.
Russell would have killed the Mexican outlaw at 73 minutes into the film, and taken his guns.
Grimes would have known he would get shot if he walked up the hill, as Russell had already shot the Mexican outlaw.
Russell's hair is dark when it is long, but changes to a salt-and-pepper color when it is cut.
