Those spaghetti westerns were so bad. So bad they were good?

I love a striped band on Panamas. Max Cady is a scary dude.

I love those movies, they were just plain good, amazing entertainment from start to finish. As to authenticity, well, that's a whole other discussion, and one that can be had about every era and style of Western movie over the years since the birth of the genre.

Great hat movies, but mostly bills and not a lot of brims.

The Guns of Navarone

The Wild One

The Sea Wolf

In the original The Razor's Edge (1946) Tyrone Power wears a stunning array of hats. Snap brim fedoras when he's dressed to hang with his upper class friends a beret when he becomes a working man in Paris; he arrives in India with a straw optimo. Clifton Webb, the snob, travels in a bowler but otherwise favors a Homburg, as does the narrator/author M. Somerset Maugham (Herbert Marshall). And then there's the de-frocked priest he works with in the coal mines -- check out the cap with a lamp on it.
