Does anyone know...
The type of hat Jack Lemmon wore in this movie?
shareLooks like what's known as a "stingy brim Fedora" - a true Fedora has a wider brim a la Humphrey Bogart in Maltese Falcon, Big Sleep & others. You can find those and similar at http://www.thefedorastore.com. And I am in no way, shape or form connected with owning or operating said site other than as an occasional, satisfied customer.
shareI was just curious ... you said his hat looks like a stingy brim Fedora. Is that also what is sometimes called a porkpie hat? I love old movies, and am just starting to notice things like hats. Thanks, Mike.
shareA porkpie hat is similar to a stingy brim fedora in brim size, but has a flat top instead of the fedora shape.

I was thinking about this type of hat:

Referencing the picture of Jazz Musician Marcus Miller weating a felt pork pie hat, not the picture with Buster Keaton.
Is this like the Jack Lemmon hat? Just curious ... thanks!
