Where exactly can one get a hat in the style of Marcello Mastroianni's in the Federico Fellini film "8 1/2?" I wasn't necessarily planning on getting one right now, and custom is very expensive, but are there any close options below two-hundred dollars? It seems to me like it's very similar to fedora, but with a wide rolled up brim on the sides. It also has a low crown and a narrow side of moderate ribbon, being creased in a teardrop crown with what looks like the Indiana Jones "Raider's pinch." The film is black and white, but I assume the hat is actually black, or at least charcoal. Any guess as to the proportions of this particular hat; brim width, crown height, and the like?
Here are some pictures of the hat:
Thanks. I actually liked the movie 8 1/2, although many seem to regard it as pretentious. It's a very thought provoking film, and Nino Rota's music is a large part of what made the experience, very mesmerizing.
