Clint Eastwood’s flared top short stovepipe in Pale Rider was said to be inspired by a hat style worn by at least some of the Mormon “Avenging Angels,” also known as Danites. In an old photo, Danite leader John D. Lee scowls at the camera from under a version of that hat—not unlike Eastwood’s menacing squint as a mysterious avenging angel.

as the determined Mattie Ross, wore the classic unshaped Boss of the Plains hat style in the 2010 version of True Grit. Stetson offers this hat, the Austral, made out of American buffalo fur blend.

Sharpshooter Matt Quigley’s massive hat in Quigley Down Under has the tall center crease block and high rolled side brim dipped front and back that is associated with hats worn by cowboys frequently exposed to rain. The sloping crease and dipped brim sheds water more readily than the horizontal blocks and flat brims associated with the Southwest.

The tent in the background. When I was a young Buck Sergeant in the 101st Airborne and became Chief Smoke for my FDC section, I “procured” a GP Tiny and a Yukon stove. We stayed toasty in the Kentucky/Tennessee winters while firing our 81mm Mortars.
