Not a traditional Hats on TV post, but instead, a beef.
With Jeopardy.
Being a loyal watcher of Jeopardy for many years (I go back to Art Fleming), I've always loved it for being a good Q&A show with reasonably tough clues. I also rely on them to be accurate. Last Friday, one of the questions concerned what type of hat Oddjob wore in Goldfinger. The answer, as accepted, was "Bowler."

It's a Coachman's hat, dammit!
I see it's a "heavier" version, does that include the razor blade?https://www.lockhatters.co.uk/men/top-hats-cokes-bowlers/cambridge.html
Lock refers to it as either a Square Crown Coke, or Cambridge Bowler. "Bowler" on its own does seem to skirt the edges of correctness though.

It does make me wonder though, in an alternate universe where somebody answered "square crown Coke" if the Jeopardy judges would rule it correct. It's such an esoteric name.
Well, hell. I'l just go sit over here, then, and shut up.
I was going to set my timer.
