Detective hats

I never saw the TV series, but have several of the radio show episodes starring Bob Bailey, as mentioned previously in this thread.

I guess not many folks realized I was talking about CBS RADIO! It was NOT on TV

You mean, "the insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar" never made it to TV? According to the nets all TV got was a single pilot aired in 1962, one that didn't get picked up for a series. He was a day late and a dollar short, apparently.

I never new that. I only heard him on the radio. I still listen to the Met on Saturday's on the radio.

I'm sure this has been covered a million times in here, but since we're on the topic of Bogart, who would you all say makes the best replica of the Maltese Falcon hat? And what color would you say it is? Gray?

Art Fawcett made mine which you can see in my avatar.

For me, the major influences were the 4:30 movie (1960s), where I saw all the classics, and TV shows like The Untouchables.

When I joined TFL I was a bit surprised that these detectives weren't talked about more. Than I found out there was huge and horrible gaps in my knowlege of hats that were being discussed. Than I found out that they were being talked about in other parts of TFL (I usually stick to the hat's forum) just not specifically their hats.
I remember my Dad bringing home some old Dick Tracy comic collections from a thrift store, and seeing that nearly every character wore a hat. Even at that age I thought "Man why don't people wear hats anymore?" I was already into swing music and hardboiled detective stories, but that was the first time I remember really wanting a fedora, soon after hat Dad brought me a tan trench coat and an old, worn, wool, fedora home from that magical thrift store.
