One of my favorite movie's is Federico Fellini's 8 1/2. Any idea what hat Marcello Mastroianni is wearing in the flick? Some pics when I can figure it out.

A black homburg of some kind...maybe a Borsalino....

I don't think it was a homburg. The brim edge is actually completely flat although the brim itself is curled up rather like a cowboy hat. It has a rather low crown but the whole look really works. The felt looks very thin too. I bet somewhere out there an interview exists where the exact brand is told. Nice hat.
