Jurassic Park: Alan Grant Fedora

[Pittdawg]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a fedora like the one Dr. Alan Grant wears in Jurassic Park. Thanks.

Akubra would be a good start... I'll pull up more info when i get home.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
I know that he has a pretty broad brim; perhaps three inches.

Akubra, that's exactly right. Check out the hats here, maybe you'll find something close...

If you don't find the exact hat, you could probably shape something to look just like the hat you want...KC

Take a look at these Miller hats, especially the "Woodlake"!
NB

Is the woodlake at the fedora store or at another site?

Hat Differences

I just watched clips from both movies and the fedora from JP is made of straw and the one from JP III is a dark tan/brown felt hat.

Dummy me....

I think I forgot to put the link for the Millers. :eusa_doh:

fftopic: Hemingway Jones, that is a sweet suit and hat combo in your new avatar. Any details on them?

fftopic: Thanks for the redirect, Marc! And thanks Washington for your kind words!

BTW, are we any closer to a definitive answer to Sam Neil's hat?

Some more info

I watched clips from JP and JP III today. Grant's hat is made of straw in JP and made of felt in JP III.

Ding...

Thought I'd bring this up again...I'm watching JP3 on TBS right now...and realized I hadn't seen this one (the second one kinda turned me off)...but Grant's hat looks like it could be a tawny Fed...were they available during that time frame. It really rings of Indy...

 

[Colby Jack]

Or maybe it's a Drover?...with a wider ribbon...

Might I also suggest a search through the forum? I'm sure we discussed this a few months ago, though I don't know that we came up with a definitive answer at all...

Just run a search myself, I found this thread:
http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=27278

Though that seems to have been more geared towards Pete Pstlethwaite's hat. Still, there are some interesting links for that general style of hat on there, might find something suitable...

Me, I'd make a beeline for Hats Direct and check out the Akubra selection, as others have suggested.

 

[Colby Jack]

I ran the search...and found what you did...figured with the upswing in Akubra purchasing, it would start an interesting conversation on what hat it could be...

I know this isn't exact, but it's a nice 'similar' choice:
