Good or Bad in a Hat ?

[silhouette53]

Here goes : A non hat wearer ( not for long though ) starting a thread in the hat section. Just looked through the thread Marc started re Presidents having good/bad hat days and thought it might be interesting to see who you think looks/looked good/bad in a fedora from the world of celebrity, i.e actors, musicians, whatever.
I'll get this going by saying that (IMHO) Clint Eastwood looked really good in a fedora in the film 'City Heat'. Unfortunately I can't find a decent pic of him from that film and the one I've attached here just doesn't do him justice. Can anyone find a good pic from that movie ?? And lets see your offerings also - Good or Bad

Cary Grant was the epitome of sophistication, but I never thought he looked good in his hats.

A side by side comparison.

Depends on the hat. He looked better - or at least his hat did - in Penny Serenade.

Robert Duval looks great in a hat.

In The Godfather, Marlon Brando looked awful in a hat. (To be fair, it was a pretty awful-looking hat!)

In the same film, Al Pacino looked like a midget in a homburg.

Robert DeNiro, however, looked great in a hat in The Godfather II.

That looks ridiculous,... Looks like it's just too small. Both the size and the style. Funny how some guys just can't pull it off,...or rather , put it on I should say. :fedora:

some hats work some don't. Some interfere with the wearer's true personality

I think Johnny Depp looks great in hats...be it a large brim Borsa or a pirate trifoil.
