I saw a Burce Willis movie last night called "Last Man Standing". It was set in prohibition-era Texas, had a lot of interesting guns, etc. but the most interesting thing was the hat. Willis had a tall fedora, tight pinch, center dent, and except for the brim, it would have made a great "Indy" hat. The brim was much smaller, and was a snap brim, but not as atomic as the Miller. The smaller brim gave it more of the look of the 30's Mafia or of a detective. The wider brim on the Indy looks more like something that would be worn by, say, an adventurer, or an explorer,or an archaeologist (?). Lots of other interesting fedoras as well.

Also, Willis carried two .45 autos in a shoulder rig. It reminded me of the ones in "Mummy Returns", or in the "Shadow" movie.
