Johnny's Fedora In Pirates

Between scenes.

 

[SinatraStyle]

I was looking for a way to tighten up my loose-fitting hats...never considered the bandana approach.

Depp wears his fedoras with the same stylish rake to the brim like Douglas.
Not an easy look to pull off but they do. :eusa_clap

Depp wears his fedoras with the same stylish rake to the brim like Douglas.

Interestingly, Capone wore his that way too. Up on one side down ont he other.
Stetson calls the style Hollywood in their Playboy ads. Makes sense.

Early Depp in a thin ribbon. [maybe a BORSALINO ?]

I do not think it is a Borsolino. There appears to be dark, widely spaced stitching showing under the ribbon. It looks more like staples than stitching!

But how about that tie!

If Johnny is bidding for vintage hats on ebay, none of us have a chance.

Mike H.!

Welcome to the Lounge, and BTW that's a nice hat you have in your avatar!
Open Road? Stratoliner? Borsalino? Nice color, too!

I 2nd Dean, welcome to the Lounge Mike H !!!

 

[Mike H]

Thanks guys. That is my current favorite hat, a vintage Stratoliner. I'm not informed enough to know the approximate year, but my best guess is late 40's to 50's. It was open crowned, and in unworn condition when I received it.

Welcome, Mike H. You'll fit right in.


Depp-as-hat-collector: I think we'd all be surprised to know the real identity of some of our members or lurkers.

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

I wonder if he's "Troxelgroupllc" on the Bay? lol

 

[Matt Deckard]

johnny must have a better source for hats than most. I just wish he's go back to wearing ties.

One thing stands out for me- a longer-haired person can wear a Fedora and look
good in it. My greying noggin wants to keep longish hair, but vanity precludes
either long hair/no hat-short hair/hats galore. And the fit problem, and hat hair.
Sounds all too vain-sorry-but we've had numerous threads about hair/hats, just refreshing to see someone pull it off with apparent ease.
Now if G. Clooney starts wearing Fedoras, we're all sunk. Except for Art.
my 2 cents.
Don't drink & drive- Please.

Now it's serious

Last night I attended an art show - sculpture, mixed media painting, ceramic, with a wine and jazz background. Even some poetry readings. All held in a remarkably fashionable hair salon.

Big stuff in my neighborhood.

Lots of wonderful arty folk - in hats. I was one of several men in a beret. There were a couple of Aussie-style outback hats, and a stingy fedora or two. Before I left home I thought it would be perfect to have one of Depp's whippets to wear side-snapped. But thought "Na. Too much." But once I got there - YES, it would have been PERFECT!

So now -

Must.
Find.
Whippet.

Go Mr. Depp, Go!! I hope he does for hat wearing what the Indy movies did and gives things one more little nudge. I for one would like to see hat wearing come back enough to where average folks would be more used to the sight of it again. I do seem to see more fedoras when I'm out and about these days than I have in years past.

 

[Earp]

Dan, that hat looks great! You wear it well.

"Wyatt, I am rolling." Why thank you Mr. Earp, that is most kind.

Cheers!

"Wyatt, I am rolling."

Excellent Dan! A quote from the best movie ever made about my namesake and from the actor who was the greatest Doc Holliday ever. And here I thought the Doc Holliday from here at the Lounge would be the first to engage me in "Tombstone" banter. Thanks for the grin. You, sir, are a pip!
