New trend in movie fedoras...?

So you said it was like a pencil curl, but looser?

Yeah, this is interesting.

 

Nice

Here you go...

I just rented this movie today, some screencaps for your amusement:<div class="thumbnail"><a href="http://skitch.com/joewozniacki/w4q4/viewer"><img src="http://img.skitch.com/20080901-e8usdd7s8r1b2bxw8h4widx1fb.preview.jpg" alt="Viewer" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Trebuchet, sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #808080">Uploaded with <a href="http://plasq.com/">plasq</a>'s <a href="http://skitch.com">Skitch</a>!</span></div>

To me all that looks like is the brim not being snapped down very far. I've played around with some of my hats that have particularly high flanged brims and you can get it to look just like that by pulling just the very front down. It's sort of hard to explain, but...my diagnosis - a snap brim.

 

Sort of like a bowler with a fedora crown?

While I have to say this is a nice looking hat.. I think it is way to small for his head..

 

Truth be told Craig... I do think its both!

 

Curly sidfes...

Have a look at this. It's the new Jaxon Safari wool. I ordered one for a knock about and I was a little surprised at the brim when it arrived.

 

I gave it a shot too and then realized that it's what I did when I started wearing hats. Now, as I wear hats with wider brims, I often use two hands to snap down the brim, pinching it somewhere between my eyes and ears to snap it down, then sliding my hands toward the front of the hat to smooth down the entire front brim. When I started, I just pinched the brim right in the front-center between my thumb and forefinger, snapping down just the slightest bit of the brim. It does give a different look, but I think that I prefer the full-snap-down.

 

Snap brim Homburg

This looks like the snap-brim homburg being discussed in the thread of the same name.

 

Surely they're trying to break the period look by making him look more like a scruffy bohemian today's audience would recognize, and (perhaps) women would find attractive.

The tight curl might have been adapted from the currently modish stingy brim - again, perhaps to slightly modernize the look.
