Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL1PaWQ- ... re=related
Look at the man in front 1:06 in the video. The fedora looks very indy-like in my opinion
I'd get a screen capture if my print screen key worked.
Is it a HJ? Probably not, but a very indy like fedora in another movie was interesting.

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
I worked in the animated special effects department on Who framed Roger Rabbit [and met Bob Hoskinson on one occasion, but that's beside the point]. Our department went through the film frame by frame many times over and I remember thinking the clothes and hats were very elegant. I have a feeling though that they were supplied by an American firm.

I once posted something similar but it was removed because not indy related
Well anyway I can agree with you, the bash on that hat is very Indy-like (Last Crusade if anything). Although I'm pretty certain the film was shot in the States so the costumes must be American, no?

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
The fact is that Indy was not the first man to wear a tall, wide brimmed fedora. This style was very popular in the 20's, 30's, and 40's. It does have an Indy like quality to it and the crease is pretty Indy, but it doesn't make it an HJ.

Most of the interiors were shot at Elstree. Quite a few shoots around LA as well, though (mostly exteriors, I'd reckon).Erri wrote:I once posted something similar but it was removed because not indy related

Exactly... I remember that, as it WAS because you made no connection what so ever to Indy.Erri wrote:I once posted something similar but it was removed because not indy related

If this was indeed the work of an American company, I gotta find out who. That looks pretty good. Bash looks like a LC/Raiders hybrid with Temple airplane taper thrown in, really has character.

I did suggest that could have been a HJ but COW was different back then. You (moderators/administrators) are much more permissive these days.Michaelson wrote:Exactly...

You gotta point there. In the past we would have probably given you a week's vacation for that.

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
It's not as if that bash style didn't exist before Raiders of the lost arc
It may as well not have though, as pretty much anyone wearing a brown fedora will more often than not be asked, or get a comment about Indiana Jones. (unless of course you are in a Starbuck's in London)

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
May be a hat Art leased out. He has done that in the past. Art has a nice collection of vintage hats and these days, alot of films just lease hats. Way back, each studio had its own hatter to make the hat, when needed. Fedora

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
Hey Gang! I don't remember WHERE I got the info. but Herbert Johnson did indeed do the hats for Roger Rabbit. You can even find it (or could find it) in some of their catalogue write ups.
But they did claim to have done the hats.
The Eddie Valient hat looks to be a Poet with a narrower brim and bound edge put on it perhaps.

I didn't want to say it, since I didn't want to be accused of stretching/pushing any potential links, but it did seem VERY poet like.

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
I gotta ask, at the end of the movie did they turn Roger into a hat?

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
Coincidentally, I know something about this.
I met Richard LeParmentier a little while back, who played Lt. Santino in the film (he also played General Motti in Star Wars).
I specifically asked him about the costuming on the film, although I was mostly interested in the suits because only a few days earlier I had been swearing up and down to my wife that they HAD to be vintage, because no modern suits look like that (especially his).
He said that every piece of costuming was vintage, suits and hats included. Since the bulk of the film was shot in England, he said they got almost all of the suits from a vintage clothing place in England, but in the end, they didn't have enough and had to send to LA for a few more things for some of the extras and minor characters. But he was VERY clear about the fact that everything was vintage. He said it was a particular obsession on that set.
Final coincidence: my son and I watched this movie on DVD last night. weird.

Re: Roger Rabbit: very indy-like fedora
Thanks for the screengrabs! Although anyone analyzing them should realize that the grabs are not at the proper aspect ratio, so the hat looks taller than it really is.
