I just ran across this photo of Sam Spade. Looks like a back bow.

Sorry not a movie but James Spader in Blacklist is great. He knows how to dress and wear hats.

I think you're right. I also like the flange ... the symmetry between the roll in the neck and the snap is quite pleasing.

That crown has a very "Raiders" profile.

That crown has a very "Raiders" profile.

I think it's the other way around.

Not exactly a movie, but my interest in hats stemmed from the TV series The Untouchables. As a teenager, I stayed up late to watch the reruns. Loved the hats, cars and action to the point of permanent impairment. Affected a lot of my future choices.

My love of bowlers comes from these two gentlemen:

I would have worn whatever attracted Emma Peel. :eusa_clap

That's the main reason I watched that show as a kid. I was in love with Miss Peel.

RBH,

I could guess that you might be an Untouchables fan by your choice in hardware on your photo. Thompson's are amazing weapons and go so well with fedoras. What next, a vintage wheel gun or Colt 1911?

I'm also a fan of this show and James Spader being a hat guy only makes me like it a lot more.

Thanks for the welcome!

I lived and worked in the frozen NW corner of your state for a couple of years. You know, the part that the rest of Indiana wishes to donate to Illinois. The temps today remind me of those times. BRRRR. But the work could be a lot of fun. Spent a lot of time at play in scenic and scented Gary...

Me too. She was really something! If she wanted me to wear a bowler then I would worn one.

The hat Henry Fonda wore in My Darling Clementine -



And the hat Gilbert Roland wore in Bandido inspired my western phase

 

[hatophile]

Those are nice Levallois. I'm waiting on a Montana peak from Art right now.

There's been quite a few movie hats that's inspired me...I definitely liked the hat which Henry Fonda wore in "My Darling Clementine" that Levallois posted. I also liked Indy's ROTLA fedora...

Here's a couple more I liked...

Robert Mitchum in "Out of the Past"



John Wayne in "Stagecoach" for the Western inspiration
