Movie hats

[Zombie_61]

^^^I liked James Coburn & like his hat here. But I always wondered why he was drinking suds with a bottle of whiskey next to him?

Maybe Mr. Coburn preferred the fake beer to the fake whiskey?

LOL! I recall an out-take where the actors were all around a table or something and as the scene ended, one actor was supposed to take a shot of whisky or the like.... LOL, but instead of juice or colored water someone substituted the real thing! The actor about choked!

The Props Manager was probably a teetotaler & didn't know any difference.

It's a beaut, to be sure. MrsFed and I went to see the movie together. I'm usually the one telling her to be quiet with her remarks during movies, but before I even knew what I happened - as soon as he came on the screen with that blue beauty - I -had blurted out, "WOW, LOOK AT THAT HAT!!!!!" LOL...

I love everything about the hat. Plans to get a custom made are on hold pending funds....

Glad I'm not the only one who was quite taken with it. I've also been thinking of getting one custom made. Out of curiosity, how would you describe the hat? Dimensions? Do you also see a slight side taper?

I call FAKE outtake! He would have smelled real whiskey before he ever lifted the glass off the table.

The Camp Draft has a 2 7/8" Brim , and I think 5 1/2 or 5 3/4" Open Crown (I'd have to look to be accurate). Its what I think or wish The Open Road was . I like the cord , but it really changes the looks , and no trim , too . I bet the crease makes it look tapered . It happens .

I'm thinking 5-3/4" open crown, maybe 2-3/8" or 2-1/2" brim (looks stingy to me, but I don't like super stingy brim hats for me), without taper. I think any taper seen is just the angle of the shot. A double box side bow, but I'd go with a shark's gill bow (just personal preference). And I might go with either a center crease or rough diamond crease as opposed to the teardrop style of the movie hat.

I'm not a purist... even with cooking recipes, I always change it up.

You'd have to see it. Just swooped up the glass, shot it back, and started coughing....lol. Anyway, looked real to me. At least it was well acted!

Coens really outdid themselves.

Quirky is right. Caught most of this, just the other day.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Such a fantastic snd unique film. Holds up quite well, too.

Love this old movie, The Asphalt jungle. Always thought that Dix looked great in his beat up hat.

I have an old Stetson that I refurbished recently. It looks very much like Valiant's hat.

I managed to sit thru it to the end but that's time I'll never get back!
