I was watching some behind the scenes footage of the Da Vinci code on the news and saw that Ron Howard was wearing an Indy style hat, anyone else seen this?

Indiana Opie? I'll have to watch for it!

Steve, is this your secret star?

From that far the hat looks a bit like a dorfman

Well it's a lot better than all those "trucker caps" he usually wears...

Time to analyze the crown dent;

Since the center dent is definitely off center, I guess he even turns his baseball caps.

No one is mentioning that the baseball cap he's wearing IS GREY!!!!!

Well, for the obvious reason, that it isn't! It's beige ...

Erri, I didn't mention it, because I thought it was brown.

yeah but you didn't mention that it could be a modified telescopic crown

Posted: **Wed May 24, 2006 12:02 pm**

I was too busy noticing the swoop in the brim.

in that case you MUST have noticed the metal wire in the brim

I am particularly fond of the way his long oval head is distorting the brim. And there is something strange going on with the top of the crown. An indentation of sorts. Now, I know caps do not come stock with the indentation and we need some top guys to research this facet to get down to the real truth and nitty gritty of that cap. It is not just an off the shelf baseball cap. It has been modified heavily. There is just no way in the world an off the shelf cap can look that way without something being done to it. We need pics from different angles and a good photoshop user to do some serious comparisons. I think that cap may be taller than regular caps. So, please do a measuement as well. Back to the brim. Is a slight turn causing the brim to dip down on the left side?. I dunno, but my money says that brim or visor was removed, then cap was turned and then the brim was sewn back on the turned cap. Oh, the emblem as well. I am sure we will get to the bottom of this soon. Fedora

We have top men working on it right now, Steve...

Wire frames made out of pipe cleaners, Bink?

I also found this one under the same directory... Funny...

I actually own one of those caps. It's the one I wear when I fly. The dent in the crown is not standard. When worn properly it's a very close fitting cap, conforms to the head. Size adjustment on the back is with velcro, which sticks to the headrest on my lazyboy

. 100% cotton. It's made by Dax Wilkinson, a Canadian company.

Aint nothin' we can't figure out, huh?

Thanks!

Ron Howard has worn every hate ever made, never takes them off. Just puts the new one over the old ones. Probably even showers will them.

Posted: **Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:38 pm**

Maybe it's a bald guy thing. I heard hats cause baldness, but I say baldness causes hats.

Showers with hats.
Wasn't that a Kevin Costner movie?

Wasn't that one of Yoda's lines in a SW/Indy clone movie?

I believe Yoda would have said:
Mmmm, hats cause baldness have heard I, mmmm. Hats caused by baldness is, mmmm. Word, mmmm.

Now, what I want to know is, did he staple it to his head to keep it in place?

Cheers!

Probably, most likely, I think so, yeah...
