Johnny's fedora in Newsweek

[Kaleponi Craig]

In the Newsweek that just arrived today there's an article on Johnny Depp. On page 46 there is a picture of him wearing what looks very much like an Adventurebilt, but with a thinner ribbon than the Indy version. He looks pretty darned good in it, too...KC

pics? I'd love to see it. -Mulceber

This is not the same picture, but looks like the same hat. On closer examination, it has a bound brim, so I guess it's on an Adventurebilt afterall...

It could well be a vintage fedora. Depp wears a LOT of vintage stuff.

[Wild Root]

yep.

Look at that shirt and coat he's got on, those look so vintage!!! To me, it looks like a vintage hat... could be a Borsalino... I know Depp likes Borsalino's.

50s spec frames too i'll wager.

pity about the straggly face furniture.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

After all, why would Johnny Depp (with his not-so-large hat size) wear some new hat, when he can have an incredible vintage one?

( Watch the fur fly! )

We've covered this alot of times... I believe it's a modern Borsalino.

My heart goes pitter-pat. I think Depp has evil mind-control powers, his physical type is not my usual idea of good-looking, but him? *swoon.*

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I believe it's a vintage Borsalino. Look closely at the photo: the brim's edging is fastened down with more stitches per inch than you'll find on a new Borsie. I say "potahto".

Good point, Marc. Whatever it is, it can't but help our mission of putting more men in good hats...KC

Viola, it's that 'Bad Boy' thing all women secretly love. ...KC

Got a head? Get a hat.

Got a bigger head? Get a good new hat.

Got a smaller head? Get a good vintage hat.


That pretty much covers it.

Reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy routine: "I read Cosmo when I'm bored, and they say the number one fantasy is a dangerous man. A dangerous man! Now, I'm thinking they mean like James Bond, because its no fun to end up on COPS, hanging halfway out of a trailer, hollerin' 'LOCK HIS ASS UP!'" lol

But i agree with you on the vintageness of da hat. Seems a very 40s number to me. Dunno about Borso; could be anyting ...

I'll swoon with you. Even in Pirates of the Caribbean, with the greasy hair, gold teeth and eyeliner he still looks good. Yum.

Yep, I was astonished to find myself attracted to a man better able to apply eye makeup than I am!

I see on the net one hat hawker has claimed he made Depp a hat. Like most things this Jabber Jaws says most likely a lie...We all know Gladhatter can never tell the truth on his own hats...

Maybe one of you guys that work in the business could ask his mgr what is this hat he has own.

This is similar to the article photo. The whole outfit is pretty sharp with the cream zoot suit. The shots were taken from his hand & foot ceremony in Hollywood. Judging by the wind cord it may be a Borsalino, new or vintage I'm not sure.

Look, high waisted trousers.fftopic:

Cheers!
