Hats on TV
There's a show that recently concluded, Derry Girls. Granda Joe has a really cool hat. The actor (Ian McIlhenny from Star Wqrs and Game Of Thrones) said he got permission to keep the hat once the show wrapped.- Doctor Jones

I see what you did there :) But you're right, they're inexpensive especially from Everything Australian, though there might be a wait of a few months.- Doctor Jones

Ronald Lacey - Toht Fedora
Just for a visual reference, here's a shot of Toht. Checking around quickly it seems that the Akubra Campdraft is a close match, having the same crown height and having a bound brim of about the right width. Of course it would have to be shaped, and have a new band put on. But it's a great...- Doctor Jones

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
A couple years ago the band I play in invaded Belching Beaver in San Diego, we had played all day at the San Diego Highland Games. We marched in playing, did a few tunes, and didn't have to buy a drink the rest of the night! As far as hats go, we wear the Glengarry (you can see one on the...- Doctor Jones

Movie hats
You guys are confirming my impression that it just didn't look period-correct to have all those factory-pressed fedoras. People have posted a number of crowd scenes from 1930s and 1940s movies here and you don't see factory-pressed hats. Every hat has a lived-in real-life feel to it. It's...- Doctor Jones

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
Funny you should post that, Jack! Because perhaps my favourite drink is the so-called Black & Blue or Eclipse The citrus of the Blue Moon gives a little zing to the Guinness. And thanks to Hurricane Jack, who made this pic possible! At the Downtown Vegas Festival of Beer before the shutdown...- Doctor Jones

Movie hats
About Lugers, recall that they sold an American Luger model in the USA. It had an American Eagle engraved on it (the Great Seal of the United States, I think is the proper title). My grandfather owned one, I wish I had it, they're worth a lot now. Here's a video about them About fedoras in...- Doctor Jones

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Yes! I do wonder how many songs in musicals are sung while wearing a pith helmet...or an entire Boer War uniform, for that matter.- Doctor Jones

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
What a great collection! Hard to tell their exact shapes, but I think I see one of the so-called Colonial Pattern helmets, a Wolseley, a WWII Bombay Bowler (made famous by Sir Winston) and others I don't know.- Doctor Jones

Akubra Cattleman
Here's mine, no chinstrap holes, just the vent-holes. I bought it used on Ebay, which might be why it doesn't have those holes.- Doctor Jones

Akubra Cattleman
I work at Disneyland. I see people from all over the world, and often the people of Oz can be spotted wearing their Akubras. So a few months ago I was chatting with an Aussie wearing one and I said "Akubra Cattleman" and he said "is it?" and he looked inside and it was, sure enough. In Fawn...- Doctor Jones

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
Maybe it's a generational thing, I'm a "child of the sixties". I already at the hat and the tunic from the kilt outfit I posted, which I was planning to get rid of. Recently I was watching that movie and said "wait a minute, I can throw together the costume for that character, I already have...- Doctor Jones

Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
The quite inexpensive sun helmets that are widely available are often the "real thing" being made, just like they were 150 years ago, from plant fibre from southeast Asia. I think most of it comes from Vietnam as it long has. I've just done some weathering on my sun helmet, added a badge, and...- Doctor Jones

Songs That Mention Hats
So there would be plenty of bonnets about the house! And noise. (Just kidding, I'm a piper too.) The Scottish bonnet-making firm of Robert Mackie would be the Stetson equivalent, having been around since the mid-19th century and pretty much being THE bonnet makers (for example they make all the...- Doctor Jones
