Touch of Evil - Great Hat Movie

[PhilS]

I just saw Orson Welles' Touch of Evil for the first time in a long time, and was struck by how much I liked the hats. (Plus it's a terrific film). I really love soft hats with small ribbons. Has anyone ever had Art make one?

Yay!

A very good hat movie, and one of my favorite films. I wrote an essay about it last year for the back of Ed Brubaker's (he's the guy famous for killing Captain America last year) Criminal book. If anyone wants a copy of my essay, you can PM me.

Orson looks great in that OR... you know, fat padding, fake bulbous nose and all aside.

My first two Borsalinos wear thin ribbons. Depending upon what its actual color is, my 2-3/4" taupe Borsalino could be a duplicate of Welles' hat.

Art's Limited Edition HST is similar:

And he's got the Seabiscuit hat, so surely somebody has had him make a clone of the Seabiscuit Marathon OR clone.

Here's one from his client designed gallery.

Here's my own original Penney's "Seabiscuit" Marathon, for a comparizontal lookey-look (as it were!)

This film was the first to make me consider a thin ribbon. A great hat flick.

I actually have one on order now . . .

A light-weight TropicAire, fashioned after my favorite thin-ribbons . . .
Face it, my ORs are pretty hot for summer wear . . .
