Whoop de do, whoop de do, whoop de do!
Thanks for posting that, I love Archie.

All that and I still have no idea what brand it was. :eusa_doh:
I know that he was a 7 1/8 though.

Regards,

Who knows;if it's from the CBS props dept. it may have sat on other famous heads before it crowned Archie (if he wore it on his throne it's even more valuable,right? )

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

It looks like,...uhhmmm, a Mallory or something? [huh]
About 60 bucks on ebay? [huh]
How can anyone be sure it was really his hat? I remember some kind of sixties looking tweed stingy brim thing like from London Fog or something.

 

[Roger]

Too bad we never got to see that LaSalle that ran so great.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Is it just me or did the brim on Archie's hat look wider on TV?

Came across this photo from the Smithsonian of Archie's famous hat, was considering one similar to that for myself, but I don't remember the brim being that stingy?

Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe Carrol O'Connor had a small head, I'm not sure, guess it doesn't look right to me not on his noggin.

Hmm, the ribbon looks smaller too, in that first picture of Archie Bunker's hat. The second photo seems to be wider in both brim and ribbon, just a bit...

 

[scottyrocks]

Those two are not the same hat.

Maybe he wore the the stingy once or twice at the beginning of the series?

I agree. The hats are different.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'm a die-hard All in the Family fan, I've seen every episode a hundred times. I don't ever recall this hat.

I seem to recall seeing him in the hat more in Archie Bunker's Place...& I seldomed watched it...

I was going to say that Archie appeared in more than one series, including guest spots. Either that, or somebody got swindled.

I'd have to agree. For the record I'm not a fan of All in the Family, or the Archie character in general so I am not an "amateur expert". That said I have seen people selling "Archie's hat" on movie prop sites before. My guess is O'Connor had more the one hat during all the time he played the character.

Example.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I have also seen the grey one that was up for sale. Something with both hats doesn't add up to me at all. Either hat is recognizable to me. It just kinda intrigues me. In all the times I've watched All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place, I've never seen a hat on Archie's head besides that fedora above, except in maybe one episode of All in the Family.

What kind of hat did Archie Bunker wear on All in the Family?

 

[MJL]

I saw and even photographed the one in the Smithsonian and had the same thought; this is not one I ever saw on the series.

Archie Bunker's Hat

Hello All,

in another thread I saw a picture of Carol O'Connor playing Archie Bunker. I did a quick search for his hat, and found this:

FYI...

 

[FedoraFan112390]

Something weird I've noticed. In all the publicity shots for the show, Archie wears this Porkpie like hat:

Yet in the show itself, he NEVER wears that hat, instead wearing this Fedora:

I wonder why the publicity photos all show him wearing a hat he never wore on the show itself. It makes it seem like a Porkpie was Archie's signature hat, when in reality he often wore a battered fedora.
