Ever-dently, I have missed a hat message here, liley as I don't check in often enough.
Want to inquire, does anyone else consider the brownish looking hat worn by Charlie (I think in an early taxi-cab ride) in CC at the Olympics PARTICULARLY unusual? A few weeks ago, we thought maybe it was actually a derby, and not a soft felt at all. I definitely wouldn't want to attempt to duplicate IT.
Now--don't ask me how I think a hat in a black and white movie looks brownish.
Meantime, on general subject: Are the second hand stores now devoid of period hats? That's where I used to get MY derbies, back in the 60s.
Second hand stores are still around but the unusual ones (hats) are now on "EBAY" and bring in the loot.
I too had my own ideas when it looks brown, black, white, grey and etc. There just seems to be a difference. I noticed today in watching one, Charlie had a plantation hat on, not his usual style, wide brim and creased crown and it looked unusal for him. I prefer the black one he wears the most. I like it even over the Panama "Optimo" hat.
My wife is a "garage sale and estate sale junkie" so she is looking for several for me now.
Enjoyed the movie tonight and enjoyed meeting you and others. Have a great week.
