Bugler Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just got done watching some of JW's early westerns with George Hays...couldn't help but really notice how BIG the hats were for everyone!! Wonder what the thinking was, or if that was just the style in the 1930-40's? Bugler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My vote is Hollywood Costume Dept. I think big hats were the rage back then. By the way, what's wrong with a big hat (especially if you don't have any cattle). An original Boss of the Plains hat would probably not have been considered "theatrical" enough. Rev.

Cholla Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Big hats were all the rage at that time. Look at Tim McCoy and Hopalog Cassidy. Three years ago I posted a thread on hats and other items used in movies that were part of the Reel West exhibit at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. Perhaps someone can find it in the archives.

Cholla Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Well, the computer decide to put some out of order. Pretend that it's a game to match them up with the right actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
