    Ian McKellen's hat in The Prisoner

    In the previews and stills from the upcoming AMC remake of The Prisoner, Ian McKellen's character wears an outstanding style of panama. Can anyone identify the exact style - if not identify the maker/supplier? Here's the official miniseries page, for those who don't want to Google around...

    Feds bought me a fed!

    So I finally decide on an Akubra Federation to round out my collection. I wanted a tall-crown fed in medium gray, and there aren't too many to choose from. (Would have liked to have a Fed Deluxe, but as you all know it's not available in gray any more.) So I place the order with Hats Direct...

    $100 Million Budget...

    I just picked up on this: $100 million budget, plus Will Ferrell, equals... ...feature film retake of "Land of the Lost." Yes, Sid and Marty Krofft's absymal rubber-dinosaur, grade-z kidvid thing. I mean, Hollyweird was already scraping the bottom of the barrel. This is right through...

    Hats in the New York Times

    Decent article about hats by one of the reporters at large for the New York Times in today's edition. It doesn't seem to be available in the online edition, though.

    Hat compliment

    Got my first serious compliment on my hat today - I've been wearing now for about six months, sporadically at first and frequently for the last six weeks or so. Gotten a few comments but nothing substantive. Today, a store manager who was helping me with something finally said, "I like the...

    Pugging a hat

    So I thought my new Akubra Sydney would look dressier with a light gray puggaree, and sure enough it does. However, I have no idea of the correct way to place the pug. What I have is the one David Morgan sells, a 6-pleat in light gray, and it has one "rough" end with a pinhook and then one...

    Road racing films

    Quick, list all the films of the era or later that are about SCCA-type road racing - from the late '30s through the early 1960s. I think the era of these films ended with "Grand Prix" in 1966 and "Le Mans" a few years later... but I'm looking for the gritty films about the amateurs through...

    Press cards in hats?

    I think this is the right forum for this - not really a hat or a film question. We've all seen reporters with PRESS cards in their hatbands... in the comics, and in films. Something I've been idly trying to find out for some time, and for which it finally occurred to the FL is the place to...

    Rain Hats

    The weather here in north-central California has been weird for several years (join the club!) and I'm reworking my winter gear a bit. We hardly ever get cold any more, when historically January-March is butt-freezin' cold (into the 20s in an area better built and set for more moderate temps)...

    David Morgan 'feather weight panama'

    I've searched but don't find any mention of the 'Feather-Weight Panama' David Morgan sells. Is it good, bad or indifferent? I see some negative marks for the Bushwalker, but nothing else about DM's panamas. I added one to an order today but wonder if I should have done a little more...

    New... here and to hats!

    'Allo, gents (and ladies). New guy here; been lurking a while but had no particular yack to get off my chest (or my head). I've never been a hat wearer. Never. Hated 'em. Even caps when I played ball felt weird and uncomfortable. Then... I dunno, I decided I really had to have an Indy hat...
