movie hats that inspired you...

For more on Duvall's costume in "Get Low", check out this post I wrote over at "The Art of Vintage Leather Jackets".

Robert Duvall in 2009's 'Get Low.'

I like that one a lot. I wish I had a similar beater hat.

Gene Autry in "The Singing Cowboy". So many styles in all of his films, from western to fedora...

Yep...these are from 'Gold Mine In The Sky"

Saw this unusual crease in "Dressed to Kill" playing on Netflix Canada right now. An enjoyable little B movie. Looks like he just took two fistfuls and crumpled it:

This might seem "johnny come lately" but: The Watchmen, Rorschach's Stingy Brim Fedora

Or is it a porkpie? I can never tell.....

Really like the coat and gloves too.

Porkpie would not have the side dents...

Funny that you bring Rorschach up. I have really fallen in love watchmen over the past couple of weeks(even though I saw it in theaters).

I sent Art an old Akubra Squatter to get transformed into that very hat.

This thread seems, to me anyway, to have digressed into a hat spotting thread.

Some very cool ones in "12 Years a Slave" if you can make it through the film. Actually Solomon Northup's initial hat is a very cool interpretation of a derby with a flattened flange.

I dunno. Sometimes it looks like a stingy with a porkpie top, other times is looks like a porkpie with side dents.

Custom hat I guess.

But i'm certainly no expert on hats. Just an afficionado.....

The hat was made by Texas Hatters in their western weight hare felt.

Would be pretty cool to an exact replica made by THE people who supplied movie but prices start at $300 for dress weight and $400 for western weight.

The photo that serves as my avatar is from the movie Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis. The hats in that movie inspired me.

I have a very similar hat that I got from Optimo. I believe they call that style the Rush Street. It's similar to the kinds of hat Sinatra would wear back in the 50's.

Leonardos in Gangs of New York, why cant i get one?!!

 

[Brother cavefish]

honeymooners and the 3 stooges definitely as far as beanies, Jacques Cousteau

Got my akubra back from Art!

Hey! I thought I was the only one that had even seen that movie! Indiana Jones may have started me on the path to hat-wearing when I was a kid but, it was Last Man Standing that got me into it as an adult.
