I do believe it is the Baileys one. I went back and watched the movie again and the hat band even has the buttons on the bow area like the baileys hat. I believe it's one they call "Gangster". That's enough to turn me off right there.Also doesn't look as good on the web site pictures as it does...

Hmmm, maybe so: That logo certainly looks close....

Only pic I could get of the interior: Not sure if that helps any. Anyone want to take another stab at identifying it?

Apologies if it's been asked before. I'm trying to identify the Fedora that Sudeikis wore in the movie "race" about jesse owens. I think it's a Stetson, but as to style I'm a little lost: I'm quite taken with it and would like to get one for myself. Anyone able to give me any info on it?

I've only got the one and I only bought it last week. Singer 319W: Dropped a hundred for it. I was attracted to it's 1950's "industrial" look. The serial number says it's a 1957. I was on a business trip, so I had to break it down to fly it home in my luggage. Believe it or...

Yup, I know it. I was pushing my luck and the luck ran out....

Well, I got greedy. I needed to tweak it a bit more and gave it another round of heating and shrinking. It was on my head and near perfect, had cooled and felt nice and dry so I took it off and went to bed. Woke up this morning and the sweatband had turned into a well cooked piece of...

So the Akubra showed up today. Either the seller or that "pitney bowes" business dis a rotten job packaging it. The crown was crushed down about 2". Luckily, it's an Akubra so it takes abuse in stride. But it turns out it actually is a 63, not a 53 as on the tag. No idea how it happened...

Must be a difference between TCM USA and TCM Canada I guess....

LOL. You would be surprised how many people say I look like someone else. I even had had someone once say I looked like kurt russel in profile. I didn't see it. Personally, I just think I look like me. :)

Thank you. That is very helpful. :)

Took the dog for a walk and grabbed my Biltmore Western that I'm converting to a more classic fedora: Crown looks a bit high....might look better with a wider ribbon.

I asked the same question a couple days ago: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?809-How-to-travel-with-hats Cheers.

Thats an interesting idea. I may borrow it. So I understand: the brinm I'd own and the hoses form the brim up right? The crown isn't down and through a hole is it? A pic if available would be a big help... I was planning to head out to the wood shop an make a form to do the job. I might still...
