The Highwaymen

Well Netflix has released a new movie with Costner and Harrelson. Anyone have any idea on these fedoras? I love Costner's look.

No clue about the hats but I plan on watching that tonight. Looks good!

I enjoyed it a lot. But I also grew up all around that area. Some great history. I felt it was a well done movie.

Need more of this,love the look of these guys. I was born in the wrong time..

Watched it - loved it - it ‘closed the circle’ / I enjoyed the Bonnie and Clyde movie many years ago - particularly the banjo music.

 

[glwanabe]

I enjoyed it. The whole movie had a great look about it.

I hope they weren't trying to get the authentic hat look. I think the Costner hat looks quite different than the ones Hamer wore. Look it up...

Here’s Frank Hamer. A fine looking hat to me. In the movie the guy Ivy, the wood hauler, had a great looking hat!
Pretty good flick.

The costume designer for the film (Daniel Orlandi) said that the hats were custom made at Optimo hats in Chicago, with the intention of getting thee hats as accurate as they could

Thanks very much, I hadn't seen that interview yet. Usually if I can't find out any info, I email the costume designer. They almost always respond which is a nice change.

Just watched last night. The Bienville sheriff Jordan had what looked like an OR, with a nice jaunty shape to it.

The writer asked me about the real hats they wore in the photo and I told him they were Cowboys so they wore Stetsons (OR was the best option) and he agreed. But the costume designer had other ideas and already had these when he advised them.

Deputy Oakley had a nice looking OR type hat with a cattleman crease.

Was Costner's a reshaped Homburg? I read somewhere that it was....

Aside from the headgear, for a good read on Bonnie and Clyde including the hunt try Go Down Together by Guinn. I found it thorough and interesting.

Hamer's was an OR type hat with the crease changed to a Homburg looking crease instead of the Cattleman's crease. I think that was what you read.

Agreed, I read it in print form, great book.

Thanks for the clarification, MH.
