I've been watching first season episodes since we have a free 3 months of HBO/Cinemax from AT&T Universe.
The last episode I saw was interesting from a hat perspective because Al Capone was in a synagogue & was told to leave his cap on to show respect to God.
The Jewish man then asked him why he was a man but still wore a "boy's cap"? The next time you see Al Capone he is sporting a nice fedora, no Hollywood brim tho.....

I paid particular attention to that scene and was very impressed with the way they carried it off. Jewish scenes in show biz, rare as they are, have had a history of not being all too convincing. This was done very well.

Re watching the first season now. What a great show can not wait for the season to start again. All the great hats and clothes that this show has what a treat for a vintage hat lover.
If you love hats watch this show!!!

Hey Tom.. watch all of it. You will like it.

Very cool show, which I just "discovered" a few weeks ago. At the time, HBO was running episodes 1-6 in "on demand" (took them down on Sept. 5 though). So I saw them, then discovered the reruns once a week on Saturday at 10:00 PM Eastern. I missed episode 7 (DVD probably in the future), but have seen 8, 9 and 10. 11 airs Saturday night (recording on DVR, I'll be enroute to Florida) and 12 the next week. Then, the new season. Place I'm staying in FL. has Direct TV, not sure if they have HBO or not. DVR set for the new season (another 12 episodes), so at worst, I should catch it all months down the road when I migrate North again. Really cool show IMHO. Great wardrobes.

Doing just that Rusty....
Like T Rick, I am DVR'ing the reruns so I can watch them & get caught up to season premier.
I may have to subscribe to catch season 2. I didn't see any of Deadwood but have all 3 seasons on DVD. Love those hats too...

For fans of the show I believe season 2 kicks off tonight up here in Canada anyways. Perhaps HBO in the U.S. follows the same schedule. I was on the HBO website yesterday and they do unfortunately sell one nasty looking and inexpensive "Nucky" hat in their merchandise area.

Heres a shot of Nuckys hat.

 

[Effingham]

Man, I hate it when they sell total crap that doesn't even LOOK like the thing it's supposed to be. Do people actually BUY that kaka?

 

[The Good]

Everything about HBO's version of that hat is wrong, the color, the black band, the shape and taper... the worst of it all is the color. I could sort of understand a tapered remake of Nucky's hat with the same color. That sort of thing happens all the time to Indiana Jones' hat, after all.

 

[Aureliano]

I don't think the hat is bad looking. Inaccurate...

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Its not even a Homburg. They could have lease gotten a cheap wool one.

 

[Travis Lee Johnston]

Caught the new episode. This seasons off to a good start.

 

[RichardH]

This is one of my favorite shows, however is Paz De La Huerta´s character supposed to be on some kind of drugs or something? Her behaviour seems really odd to me.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

While I like Nucky's Homberg. I love Nelson Van Alden's Fedora goes well with his character.

Great shot of an awesome hat: one of my favorites I've ever seen on TV. I gave up HBO about two years ago, but was fortunate to catch the season 2 opening during an HBO promo period. Very cool-- very stylized, picturesque. Almost stage-like in the unnaturalness of the dialogue and blocking, IMHO. That network does that kind of thing very well.

I see what you guys mean about the one for sale on HBO's website. It has absolutely nothing to do with Buscemi's signature Nucky hat whatsoever. If you wore that one on Halloween attempting to dress as Nucky, you'd be mistaken for a bum.

Here are so Hat screen shots from this week's great episode.

An Margaret wears a great hat that belongs to her house maid to save Nucky.
