Hello,
I know Humphrey Bogart's hat brand has been discussed often, but I do not think this little bit of info has been mentioned.
I has re-watching The Maltese Falcon and there are a couple of scenes where Bogey's hat liner can be briefly seen; I found this is more evident in the scene where Sam Spade is at the prosecutor's office. I froze the frames and you can discern a shield logo, with a marked triangular shape, on the liner. This could well be Resistol's logo. Having in account there are contemporary Resistol advertisements linking Bogart with this firm's hats, I believe this is a strong possibility.
I do not know how to capture the image. If any of you with better computer abilities than me can do it, that particular frame is at 54:13 in my recording, for your reference.
Regards!
