The Visitors Center at the Jack Daniel distillery thinks they have this hat, my favorite pic & hat of his. I’m trying to get some better pics, measurements & other info.

I have been tempted to clone one using this hat as a donor if only I had those pics & measurements.

Sean Connery famously wears a dark brown Lock & Co. Hatters trilby in the opening *** barrel sequences and early scenes of his first four Bond films Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball. The hat is famously worn by stuntman Bob Simmons in the Dr. No silhouette, and later by Connery when arriving in London.

James Donald Rainwater (1855 - 1933)

This pic has been posted before but it’s a favorite of mine. James Rainwater was born in Fayetteville, AR which is not far from Carthage, MO. I recently began to wonder if the Rainwater family had moved to Carthage with James as a child, & if so would he possibly have known Myra Maybelle Shirley (better known as Belle Starr), born & raised in Carthage & just 7 yrs his senior?

Myra Maybelle “Belle” Shirley (Reed, Starr x2) (1848 - 1889) was born & raised in Carthage, in a family that was moderately well off for the times. Besides the family farm her father owned several businesses which included the local livery stable, a hotel, & a saloon.

As an adult Rainwater first went to Carthage in 1879 & lived in & out of Carthage several times after Belle’s time there (& murder in 1889). Census records prove it was not likely they ever overlapped or knew each other. Brings to mind Martha Jane “Calamity Jane” Cannery (1852 - 1903) & cowboy Tom Horn (1860 - 1903) both born & raised in Princeton, MO. It really was a small world back then.

Always wish I could find pictures of the real Tom horn hat
Every picture I’ve seen he’s hatless

I have a pic of him in FL when he was a packer for Teddy Roosevelt & his Rough Riders preparing to go to Cuba in the Spanish American War. He’s wearing a hat but he’s at some distance in the pic.

River Phoenix and Harrison Ford. Indiana Jones hangs up his hat in: Dial of Destiny.

Ugh. I got so bored waiting for them to start telling the story that I fell asleep 30 minutes in, and didn't wake up until the credits started rolling. I didn't think they could make a worse movie than "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", but they proved me wrong.

Thanks for this! Looks a bit like your modified Akubra! Can’t quite make out if it’s telescoped or rounded flat top

Me either but my guess would be rounded crown shoulders & a flat top.

John Glenn is the only one I recognize. Shameful because we should be able to identify all of them
