Well I finally saw "A River Runs Through It" and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a hat like the one worn by Brad Pitt in the movie?
Thanks

Dude
I have an Aussie out back hat, made of oil cloth, it is the best damn hat I ever had, I stopped watching that movie when I saw how well Pitt was casting, Pure B.S..... Maybe the older guy whom played his Dad, but not him or the other Kid, just do not buy it....
Knew that movie would cause Problems....
Not sure what the hat looks like, but the Aussie hat is COOL... period...
I believe the style of hat is "fedora", popular at the time. In the 40's and 50's nearly every man wore one both in dress up and casual.
Do a google for the word...you should find what you want.
I'm not sure, but it looks like it may have at one time been a Stetson Gun Club hat that has been "aged" and "shaped". Check the Stetson gun club series of hats out and see if one is close enough. Any decent hat shop could re-shape the hat to suit your needs.
Also, check out images of Stetson Open Road. That style of hat can be reformed into a fedora style. I have a couple gun clubs and an open road and they are very high quality hats. I have a couple custom made hats and like the open road and gun club about as well.

I have been searching for a decent pic of brad pitt in that hat... I can't work out exactly what it is. re the Aussie Outback Hat, I think that is more likely to be a New Zealand oil cloth hat. I believe Cabelas sell a hat in that range, or you could do a search for "Akubra" hats which area our main hat makers. I suspect the hat in question is more like a stetson hat though... again Cabelas? I actually bought a Cabelas hat recently in a similar style, and when it arrived I was amazed to find it had been made in the US for Cabelas by our Akubra company! Is nothing sacred???
Some pictures from the movie are here http://www.bradpittfan.com/mriver.htm and some good ones of the hat are included

You could review this site http://www.noggintops.com/ for something suitable for you. Website search fee is $45 - please send cheque or new fly line :lol: . Cheers.
Is this a current movie? I don't see a listing for it at the theater... [/sarcasm]
When you are on the stream with your hat tipped slighly back on your head, remember to turn to your fishing buddy and shout...
What are they bitin' on?!
Greg H,
A $45.00 search Fee?? Would you consider a slightly used container of Metamucil instead???
Thanks,
Doug
Could well be an Akubra "Sydney" hat or an 'Angler"... check them out in the US on this link.
