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!

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.

We all think timothie's prices are high...and some of us are willing to pay crazy money for a really good old hat...but this takes the cake. Last night on Pawn Stars Rick Harrison made an offer of $250,000 for FDR's grey Stetson.
Offer was turned down.
It's a beautiful hat, but that's a lot of dead presidents.
Heck, that's a lot of new teeth... :D
