Apocalypse now Hats

“Apocalypse Now” starring Robert Duvall as Lt. Colonel Kilgore, is outfitted with different cavalry hat styles all with similar qualities. In some cases he wore the “Kilgore” with the 9th cavalry sabers, the Lt. Col. Rank insignia, and the black and gold acorn band with gold acorns, while in others he simply wore the cross-sabers pin with no rank. After the premiere of the “Apocalypse Now” movie, this Hollywood Legend made the “Kilgore hat” very popular, the 4 ⅝” high crown, 3 ½” medium brim, and the enlisted cross-sabers are recognizable nationwide. 

This hat is very popular amongst cavalry troops and their squads. Miller Hats has done extensive research and concluded with a style that we feel best fits the one worn by Lt. Colonel Kilgore in “Apocalypse Now”. 

The Apocalypse Now replica made by Miller Hats comes in a high quality 7X fur felt material.  The custom hat has a roan leather sweatband, the famous Miller Hats satin liner, grosgrain band and your choice of acorn bands.  Our final product is an elegant cavalry hat that will fit you comfortably, that will last you a long time and that gives you a unique look.

The Great Gatsby hats by Miller Hats

The famous Miller Great Gatsby Hat collection is inspired by the 2013 romantic drama film.  The film is based on the 1925 Novel The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald.  The novel is set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first person narrator Nick Carraway’s interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby’s obsession to reunite with his former lover Daisy Buchanan.    

The Great Gatsby film was set in the 1920’s era.  The characters all wore 1920’s fashion, the men wore tailcoat tuxedos and underneath a white wingtip collar shirt.  To match the tuxedos they wore a top hat, a bow tie, a walking stick or a pocket watch.  The trousers were high waisted and they wore double breasted vests with a single breasted jacket.   1920’s fashionable suits were worn with Boater Hats, derby hats and wide brim fedoras.   The most informal style of hat worn at the time was the newsboy flat cap.   

The main characters, Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio), Nick Caraway (Tobey Maquire) and Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton)  wore boater hats with a variety of colorful patterns.  But many of the additional characters wore fedoras in straw or felt, newsboy caps and flat caps.  The relevance of the main characters wearing hats in the 1920’s is primarily due to the fact that hats were a must.   In that time and era - men did not leave the house without  wearing a head covering.   

Miller Hats Great Gatsby hat Collection includes top of the line genuine fur felt hats and a wool hat.  If you are getting ready to attend a Great Gastby theme party or if you need 1920’s men’s hats visit our online catalog or store front.  Many styles, colors and sizes available and ready to ship.
