Does anybody remember the classic western High Noon? It's a tale of courage and believing in yourself and Will Kane is an inspiration to us all. Well, does anybody remember the hat he wore in the film?

I think Gary Cooper's hat is a telescope crown. Often, those are pictured with very flat brims, but not in this case, brim rolled as if it were a teardrop crown, rolls slant forward, but it is a gentle roll.

The curled brim edge is the only difference I see.

at least it's also similar to one worn by Lee Van Cleef as Sabata.
