I was very surprised to see FL linked an a funny article about the new Oppenheimer movie: https://www.theguardian.com/film/20...-oppenheimer-smackdown?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

And we shouldn’t rule out Oppenheimer throwing its hat in the ring when it comes to headgear. As far back as 2010, one plaintive user on thefedoralounge.com was searching “for a lid like the one the famous nuclear physicist wore,” citing a “2½-inch snap brim and a very thin ribbon” and concluding that “such a hat would be positively atomic”. Factor in the Cillian Murphy effect – this is the man who helped popularise the Peaky Blinders newsboy cap/undercut combo.

Two and a half inch brim, thin ribbon, it's got to be The Stratoliner.

I think his handle was Blackthorne, if I'm not mistaking him for someone else. He also collected walking sticks. He eventually had a custom made.

And no, it's not a Strat. Oppenheimer wore a three cord ribbon, telescope crown and I'm pretty sure the brim was closer to three inches.
