Not a movie but tv show, NCIS.LA, 10/17.

It sure looks like him. I would almost bet it is Matt.

Great pic of John Wayne on a Honda taken in 1970 on the set of Big Jake. Remember their slogan, "You meet the nicest people on a Honda"?

John Wayne and Pedro Armendariz, "The Three Godfathers", (also with Harry Carey Jr. and Ward Bond). A Western Christmas story

Three character actors whose names I don't know or have forgotten.

I walked in to eat lunch and the TV was on to an OTA local channel that shows old movies. The Fuller Brush Girl with Lucille Ball and Eddie Albert was on. It had ample fedoras but what caught my eye was the creases. There were some mob baddies and they had the front crest of crown as high as the crown would allow and the back crown crease low and straight across to make a triangle and to make the crown as wide as possible. Were the exaggerated bashes for theatrical effect or was that a legit shape of hat that thugs of the day wore to denote who they were?

Not my hat.

From Baron's FB page, "Inspired by the hat crafted at Baron Hats' Studio and worn by John Wayne for his Academy Award™ winning performance in the original “TRUE GRIT”"

I still can't figure out form what they wrote if they made JW's hat for "True Grit" or just copied it here.

Nice job! I like that hat too, I picked up the Resistol/Hatco version (they're now selling it with a different liner and Stetson branding). it was another Matt Deckard hat. One of the hats from the sequel Rooster Cogburn was apparently an off the shelf Resistol from Nudie's.

Nice hat Jared. I like it. Edited my post to be more clear about where the "True Grit" hat photo is from.

I like to wear a little different style myself. Two big black hats would just confuse the audience

I started watching a movie last night I don't think I've ever seen before, The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), starring Charlton Heston "and a cast of thousands." It is, after all, a Cecil B. Demille movie!

The beginning of the movie was fun, as it shows the Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus setting up the Big Top for the performance. You get to see a lot of working men wearing their hats on the job while performing the work. My wife laughed at me when I got excited during the overhead shots because I could see the creases, LOL. Unfortunately, I could not find any photos of that sequence.

Mr. Heston wears a nice bound edge, Whippet-y type of fedora (that's Jimmy Stewart on Heston's left in the first shot).

This last photo is a picture of the film crew working on the movie on site in Florida.

No I can't explain the purple.

No I can't explain the purple.

What purple?

 

[BobHufford]

No I can't explain the purple.

What purple?

To stay somewhat on topic ... check out the guy in the left background. Do you know where I could buy a hat exactly like that?

 

[scottyrocks]

What purple?

Certain parts pf the photo are light purple (lavender?) while the rest of it is B&W. Probably someone fooling around with pshop.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

No I can't explain the purple.

Groovy, man!

I've seen that movie tons of times and it's always worth watching again. Great movie!

I concur, Ed. Watched it this past Tuesday.

 

[Yahoody]

That makes it 3. We really enjoyed it. Nice story line and great acting.

I liked that Hanks had and used two hats. Made sense.

 

[T Jones]

"The Newton Boys", with Matthew Mcconaughey and Ethan Hawke...

That movie had tons of nice hats.
