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.

Straw Crossover Hats

We refer to the straw crossover hats as combination of a dress hat and a cowboy hat. The Crossover hat isn’t as drastic as the American cowboy hats, it’s normally a little smaller crown and brim. Straw crossover hats start around a 3” brim.  The crown mostly will be a teardrop or a center dent.  The wideness of the brim helps combat the harsh weather in many hot regions.

The open range collection, designed specially for Miller Hats, is a shantung straw material and it’s customized in the USA.

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.

Chaplin Derby Hats

Charlie Chaplin had a very philosophical, yet practical, view of clothing. Regarding the costuming of The Tramp, he said, “I had no idea what make-up to put on… However, on the way to the wardrobe, I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat… I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked on to the stage he was fully born… Gags and comedy ideas went racing through my mind.”
