What type of hat is worn in Tracker?

[Mr. Godfrey]

Hi, can anyone advise what type of hat and colour for that matter, used by Ray Winstone in the film 'Tracker'?

Most of mine are brown, faun but like the look of this colour. Any help appreciated.



Thanks in advance

Thanks for posting. Looks like a good film.

Just found a copy on the Bay and will recieve it very soon.

 

[Mr. Godfrey]

Hope you enjoy it, I found it a good yarn. Reminded me a bit of Deneys Reitz.

The varied lighting makes the color a challenge to identify, but I think that it is a medium to light tan which picks up surrounding greens pretty well.. The band has clearly been replaced and when I blew the photo up, I think there is a vent grommet or two.

Is it not this hat with a new band and slight crown reshaping?

Finish looks too fine to be an Akubra. My first guess was Stetson Temple....

Thanks chaps, I see what you mean about the colour Fed and the temple, Jared, being filmed in New Zealand I assume the would use Akubra but that is just assumption on being the closet country, nothing to stop Ray having it made in the UK or the USA before traveling to the location. My Akubra Safari is a tawny fawn colour and only ever seems to look lighter in colour IMHO, should test any change of colour in a the woods. Thanks for the advice anyway chaps.
