movie hats that inspired you...

[El Sid]

Richard Widmark in "Kiss of Death" and Steve Martin in "L.A. Story" when he is roller-skating through the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in a great panama. Also love John Huston's OR in "Chinatown," and all the other hats in that film. Every hat Bogie wore in every movie, except "The African Queen." Love the movie, not the hat. And Nicholson's heartbreak of a fedora in "Ironweed."

Here's another still from the movie that shows the hat better I think as well as the signature khaki shirt.

Some say that image inspired the Indiana Jones getup.

The Wettest County In The World, is not out yet. But it looks as if it may have a some good hats in it.
A shot of actor Tom Hardy.

I read the book, excellent true story about Prohibtion Era Appalachia and bootlegging. Can't wait to see that one!

I like the hat Cooper wore a lot more than what Indy wore for sure

 

[RBH]

Donald Sutherland, from 'A Time To Kill'.

 

[GratefulDawg]

Here's a shot of Marcelo Mastroianni in Ieri, oggi, domani (Yesterday, today, tomorrow). Sorry, but this was the best I could do from a shot with bad lighting. This hat inspired one I just had made.

The hats on the deputies in The Grapes of Wrath are great. They're thinly bound brim (OR style) westerns, but styled in many ways. I liked that they appeared to have a higher contrast - maybe silver ribbon against a darker gray felt. There are also many other types of hats, styled in many ways.

OOOhhhh, I like those!

As I mentioned in another thread already, Mel Gibson wore one like I was looking for in What Women Want.

Joseph Cotton in The Third Man:

 

[Blackthorn]

Cotton's hat in that movie is one of my faves, too.

 

[hatophile]

I like his outfit, too.

Just about any hat in The Thin Man series:

 

[scottyrocks]

He does have that Indy look, doesn't he?

And it appears that it's turned on his head, too, although the opposite way, and the front pinch wasn't realigned to the front. But I can see now where the idea came from. Also the shirt, and bag strap.

Enjoyed this narrow ribboned fedora tonight... worn by Tom Conway in Cat People (1942).

 

[randooch]

Now THAT'S some pregnant eye contact! Hubba hubba!

 

[Oldsarge]

It actually wasn't a movie that got me into hats, but a book, a book by Robert Ruark.

Use Enough Gun

And it was this hat!

 

[pjt113]

You can't beat William Powell!

I just did a little research, not recognizing this actress, Simone Simon. My goodness, she is beautiful. I think I have a new favorite actress for the most beautiful actress of the golden era thread, or whatever its called.

Re: Cat People

I know the movie (and had it on last night too). That is a wonderful hat!
