Thanks RG, I havent watched that one in awhile!

From 1947s 'Boomerang!'

A lot of thin ones in this film, it seems 1947 was a popular time for thin ribbons in films.

I don't think I've EVER seen it. I like the Plantation Panama (?) that Broderick Crawford is wearing.

By the way, the young kid with the fliers became Bo Derek's husband.

Here's a bad guy from the 1950s Superman series. I love the color combo; it looks like light-blue felt and a copper- or gold-colored ribbon. I choose to believe that it's a Stratoliner

Even though this is mid- to late-fifties, this fellow is still sporting the "Bold Look":

His partner in crime is leaning more towards the Ivy League look or the "Mister T" look:

Wearing a Whippet?

He doesn't look happy 'cause that ray gun didn't do a danged thing to Superman!

 

[RBH]

I agree J1, I too thinks its a Stratoliner.
Are you like me... and watch all these old shows for the hats in them!!! ?

Could be an Open Road like this one I just received. Photographs bluer than it is to me. A 2-5/8" Brim and I believe its original crease and pinch.

Rlk............that looks like it to me. Fantastic. We have to see that one on.

One man, one hat, two T.V. series!

Jay C. Flippen wore a thin-ribbon in an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show in 1962:

And he didn't baby it, either!

And he wore the same hat, or a very similar one, a couple of years later in an episode of Burke's Law:

It really stood out in a crowd of stingy-brims!

 

[RBH]

Thanks J1 !

The 49th Parallel 1941 release

How about this crease:

The jacket too!

I got Public Enemies on DVD for Christmas from my son & watched it. Of course I loved Steven Lang's hat.
My son said this movie "must be a hat orgy for you!" Kids today...

How about this crease:

I think the guy on the left is thinking: "Damn! I just never seem to be able to get that Mountie crease just right..."

Cheers,

The film is from 1959.

Not sure of the origin of that hat. But it has been said in another thread that Jimmy Stewart wore his own hats in most of his films.

This was RBH's response a ways back in this thread to a question about what thin-ribbon Jimmy Stewart was wearing in The FBI Story. I just watched this movie recently, and I would absolutely bet my bottom dollar that he is wearing a Borsalino Alessandria. The height of the crown and the style of the ribbon, combined with the way that the felt creases/wrinkles (indicating a very thin felt), screams Borso to me.

Cheers,
JtL

Spotted this good-looking hat last night:

I wonder what color it was?

I'd like to have Bud's hat in Steel grey. Love the sloped bash.

Not really from a movie, but an interesting thin-ribbon shot:
