Show us their hats!

[Bushman]

Surprised Jimmy Stewart hasn't been mentioned. He's famous for his Golden Age stylishness on and off the silver screen.


A famous contemporary in the scientific world, paleontologist Dr. Robert Bakker, is famous for wearing this battered old white hat everywhere:

It's his trademark as much as Indies' own fedora. In fact, he was given a caricature character in the Jurassic Park sequel, as "Robert Burke":

Been reading some Terry Pratchett Si-Fi .

Love everything Cagney wore , Cary Grant could make a pizza on his head look good, same for William Powell. Heck I love them all, especially straight up tall crown hats. Thanks all for providing me with a bit of nostalgia.

It's interesting to see all the different looks. As I review this thread, watch old movies and see old family pictures, I realize that some guys look great with the hat cocked to the side (James Stewart) or pushed way up and back (Howard Hughes). I can't pull 'any' of that off. I guess I'm not cool enough. LOL! I look absolutely ridiculous wearing my hat in any other style than squared away and down on the forehead. Any of you notice the same thing about yourselves?

I generally cant my hats slightly to the right and down in front, fedoras. Westerns I generally wear square on and down somewhat. Of course if I looked like any of the stars of yesteryear I wouldn't have to fuss much.

Jack Johnson in Boater...

Spent the morning at the Milton Hershey School. Mr Hershey did not have children of his own, so he poured his chocolate fortune into a school for orphans, which has turned out some amazing people. His photograph was everywhere, and always with a different hat.

Hershey was one of the greatest men of the century. It's a pity people don't know more about him: at a time when robber barons were hiring thugs to shoot their own workers, Hershey plowed the profits from his chocalate recipe into a better life for those who worked for him. Really a great man.

Johnson was well past his prime when Jess Willard took the heavyweight title from him. Otherwise, I don't think Willard would have beaten him.

Agree, a few years ago we took the Hershey tour, up to then I had no knowledge of what that man did to provide a better life for many or all that worked for him.

I work in Hershey (the town) and have the privilege of meeting people who were old enough to have met him and worked for him. He built a town around his factories to support his workers. It is unusual for a man of such wealth and power to be thought of so highly, as he is. Sadly, the factories are moving away one by one. The smell of chocolate in the streets isn't what it once was. I was told that when you do smell it today, it's an artificial smell pumped in the streets! Who knows. I believe the Milton Hershey School has an endowment that rivals that of Harvard and Yale. When everything else is gone, it will be there.

Mercury 7 astronauts in their Shudde Bros. Stetsons

 

[g.durand]

Rick, I love that photo. I did a little research awhile back and found out they were given Shudde Bros. supplied 7X CB Open Roads by the Houston Chamber of Commerce upon their official arrival in 1962.

Ms. Bardot has been seen in a lot of hats, yet this one is by far my favourite.
