That's the one that motivated me. Mulholland Falls.

I like the Penn hat - odd, but it works. Ever since seeing Redford wearing the hat with the copperish-colored band in "The Natural", I've wanted to get a similar ribbon/felt color schemed hat.

The Indy hat on the left first got me wanting a fedora, but the two on the right are my favorite all-time movie hats. I would love to duplicate those two. For the Redford hat, thinking of getting a tawny fawn Fed IV and replacing the ribbon with dark chestnut ribbon. Thoughts?

Thank you.. :eusa_clap I was combing this thread to see if that pic was here.. That was my idea for a first "real" hat.. ( "Real" as in non-ballcap, non-chinese-mast-general-store special ) Which arrived ... yesterday. :) (newb)
Bailey Homburg black wool felt.. Next one(s) will be fur. I'm sure I look nothing like Pacino :eek: shocker.. but it's the look of the hat I dig.

This is definitely one I was inspired by as well. Here's the Knox Homburg I found while on the hunt for Pacino's hat.

Mulholland Falls - ditto for me. Penn's moss green/rust ribbon is gorgeous!

For me,

in terms of future acquisitions, the hat Lang wears in PE is an inspiration:

I couldn't get a picture of the hat!

Woo!
I was waiting for somebody to post a Public Enemies hat, I liked Lang in there, he was great and he had a great hat. :)

I'm on the fence about Johnny's hat though, it looks purple in some lights...

Scott, this thread has been bumped up lately, and I just came across your post about Redford's hat and the rust ribbon. I suggest doing this: contact Jenny or Deb at Hats Direct and tell them you want to order the Fed IV, but want to replace the ribbon with a rust-colored ribbon. When I did this with my Campdraft, they sent along--no charge--enough ribbon for me to switch them out. And rust was one of the colors they had available at the time. Don't know if that was a fluke, but it's worth a try.

Well, they have already been pictured earlier in this thread, but the hats that have influenced me are the newsboy caps worn by Henry Fonda in the "Grapes of Wrath", and George Clooney in "O Brother Where Art Thou". I really like the newsboy cap. I just bought one from MensHats.com and I am very happy with it, a grey tweed. I just bought another one from Hat People, a brown twill. I'll post some pics later.

Hi Steve,

Thanks. Great minds think alike - I did exactly what you suggested, when I placed my order. Jenny found some rust ribbon and emailed back saying that it didn't work with Heritage Fawn. As was your experience, she told me she would include ribbon if I wanted, but I took her word for it and passed.

I'm happy with the Fed IV as-is, but if I spot just the right ribbon, I might make the change. I DO think that Heritage Fawn is a pretty good match for Redford's hat.
 
I know, James; that was addressed to the community as a whole. Actually, come to think of it the Shadow had some influence on me too, both stylistically and as a "donor personality"... and much as I hate Alec Baldwin, I gotta admit that his version brought some interesting new developments to the character. (Not to mention Jerry Goldsmith's kick-arse theme work!)
