Hi All- I'm brand new here. First post. So if I'm asking a stupid question, or one that's been discussed before, please pardon me.

Having recently watched the movie The Sting for about the 20th time (sick, eh?), I'm wondering if anyone knows where one can buy a pastel blue hat such as those worn by a couple of the characters (Shaw and Redford) in the movie? Does someone make them these days or must one go the ebay route?

Thanks in advance. And, yes, I'm happily married.
Dale

We're getting close

I appreciate the replies. I'll check out that website. Now that blueish (sp?) hat is close, but I'm looking for something even lighter in color. Something that kind of glows, like the ones in the movie. I really appreciate the help. Onward..........

I can't name anything online, but are you near a big city? You need to go to the sort of store that caters to the flashy dresser/zoot suit end of the menswear spectrum. Go to a store in an African-American neighborhood, basically, or someplace like Siegel's in San Francisco or the stores in downtown Oakland. All the pale blue (and mint green, cherry red and canary yellow) hats you can shake a stick at!
