Hats from recent Brideshead Revisited movie

[vonwotan]

I don't know why I didn't ask sooner, I would like to know whether anyone knows about the hats, and wardrobes, in the recent movie version of Brideshead Revisited.

Currently I am interested in one hat in particular, the one that Sebastian Flyte wears when driving with Charles to his family home and again in a gondola in Venice.

Originally I thought this was a panama but, now that I have found better quality stills, it appears that this may actually be a coarser cuenca or even a milan type straw hat?

I have been considering a new summer hat and would like to have something similar from Bob and Art. A hat that can hold up to a fair amount of handling and the winds here in Boston. From time to time, wearing a finer weave I find it unpleasant to have the wider softer brim whipping round as much as it can.

Unfortunately I cannot see the photo in your post but, I did find, and crop, this still.

Milan Homburgs

The Poirot homburg he wears in hot climes is defintely a Milan like the one you see hear without the sides being as windswept.

I like the looks of this hat better.

Cookie...what do you think of Milan in the hotter months?...I've found that Panama's don't breath very well, and I sweat even in those...So I'm on a search for the "perfect" summer hat. If Poirot can wear one...then...[huh]
