Gary Cooper's hat in FWTBT

[monbla256]

I think we can narrow down the list of suspects. It looks more like a Cavanagh Edge than an overwelt. Anytime I see a major movie star sporting a Cavanagh Edge, like Bogart, I figure the odds are pretty darn good that it was made by one of the two largest manufacturers, Stetson and Hat Corporation of America. Sure, there are other factories that made them, but the odds favor the big two. So, out of those two, it's probably one of four brands, either a Stetson, Dobbs, Knox, or Cavanagh.

Still doesn't narrow it down enough, though.

Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding between the two edge styles. I don't have any hats with these types of edges so do get them confused. Your stating that it may be one of 4 brands makes sense though so now I have a direction to start looking from. Thanks
