Hats on TV

[RJR]

Yes! I'm really digging that hat. Looks like about a 3 inch brim with some curl and flare.

That does look good.

Bryan Cranston, reprising his stage role as LBJ on HBO this weekend in "All the Way".

This looks like an off-the-shelf modern Open Road, distressed by the wardrobe people. I'll probably watch it because it's getting good reviews, but I'll have to work to put aside 1) the memory of the larger-than-life persona of LBJ, 2) the memory of Bryan Cranston as Walter White (and farther back, as Hal the father in Malcolm in the Middle and Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld), 3) the more-than-likely bad Texas accent, and 4) the hat.

g., I'm with you. Plus at 5' 11", it's going to take more than the heels of his cowboy boots to make him appear 6' 4".

That too, Greg. Maybe I won't watch it.

And Wyatt Earp never had any kids, therefore he couldn't have any great granddaughters. And he never lived in Purgatory.

You mean a cable TV show based on a comic book about a magic gun that kills demons isn't real?☺
Nice hat though!

That, and television producers haven't ever really been overly concerned with letting historical facts get in the way of the story they want to tell.

g., I recorded it and watched it today. Not much hat action but I think you were spot on about what little was shown. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. The accent wasn't overdone, and his look and mannerisms captured LBJ pretty well. It was obvious they made the most of camera angles to disguise the height differential. The crudeness and contradictions of Johnson were captured pretty well, at least in line with most things I've read about him. As a child during his presidency, growing up here, I still remember some of the discussions the adults had about him at the time. My father hated him and what he did with the civil rights bill. Nothing would have made him happier than to have George Wallace elected president.

The first half was much more compelling than the second but it reminded me of the hell he went through to get the nomination.

4" brim? The hat used on the TV seems to have less than 4" brim

I've seen a replica hat with a 3-1/2" brim that looked too narrow, and one with a 4-1/4" brim that looked too wide. I'd say 4" is just about right.

I also always liked that hat. Interestingly, Mr. McRaney appears occasionally on Longmire.

It's a Goorin hat.

 

[RJR]

No, I think that's the look they're going for.
