		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest baseball movies of all time is "The Natural." It also is a great movie for hat lovers. Nearly everybody wears a hat. Learn all about what they're wearing in this edition of Hollywood Hatties.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need a little spring training of your own to get psyched up for the baseball season? Gather some friends, put a 6-pack on ice, buy some peanuts and pop in 1984’s “<a title="The Natural movie poster" href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm977772032/tt0087781" target="_blank">The Natural</a>,” starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall and Kim Basinger.</p>
<p>If you’ve never seen it, it has everything a great baseball movie should. An unlikely hero looking for redemption, country folk adapting to city life, big money and corruption vs. honor and integrity, lust vs. love. Oh, and hats. Really well represented hats.</p>
<div id="attachment_317" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Biltmore-Ark-BlackOak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-317" src="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Biltmore-Ark-BlackOak-300x300.jpg" alt="The Biltmore Ark is a teardrop crown fedora similar to one worn by Robert Redford in 'The Natural.'" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Biltmore Ark is a teardrop crown fedora similar to one worn by Robert Redford in &#039;The Natural.&#039;</p></div>
<p>The core of the story is about Roy Hobbs (Redford)—a rookie in his mid-30s looking for one last chance to break into the game. In his youth he was truly great until a mysterious and sexy assailant shot him and nearly destroyed his life. Now he’s back and playing for the worst team in baseball run by an honest manager/team co-owner and a greedy corrupt co-owner. Vying for his heart are a long lost true love (Close) and a smokin’ hot gold digger (Basinger) owned by the corrupt powers within the movie. The fate of the player, the team and the lovers boils down to one tense climatic playoff game.</p>
<div id="attachment_318" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Woolrich-Tweed84-LtGrey-copy-Lge.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-318" src="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Woolrich-Tweed84-LtGrey-copy-Lge.gif" alt="Capas Big Apple in Grey Tweed" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Duvall wears a Big Apple cap in grey tweed similar to this one in the 1984 hit &quot;The Natural.&quot;</p></div>
<p>Aside from some early scenes set in the early to mid-1920s, the bulk of the film takes place in 1939. The two biggest hat wearers of the movie are Robert Redford and Robert Duvall, who plays a conniving sports writer named Max Mercy. In the ’20s, Duvall wears a large <a title="A grey tweed Big Apple Cap" href="/p-861-tweed-big-apple-cap.aspx" target="_blank">grey tweed Big Apple cap</a>. In the ’30s he’s wearing several impeccable teardrop crown fedoras in primarily pearl grey and graphite grey. These are similar to our <a title="The Selentino Sterling in silver is similar to Robert Duvall's pearl grey fedora." href="/p-551-selentino-sterling-fedora-hat.aspx" target="_blank">Selentino Sterling </a>in silver and <a title="The Stetson Downs in graphite is similar to a hat worn by Robert Duvall." href="/p-952-stetson-downs-fedora-hat.aspx" target="_blank">Stetson Downs </a>in graphite.</p>
<p>Redford’s character is a Depression-era man who has spent his time living on the fringes of poverty. His brown fedora is dirty and well worn. The teardrop crown is broken-in and a little out of shape. The hat band is stained, presumably from sweat. As his baseball career improves, so does his hat. Careful observers will notice the nicer hat switching between a center-dent crown and a broken-in teardrop crown. No matter what hat he is wearing, the snap brim is usually down in the front and back. Similar hats at Hats Plus are the <a title="The Churchill Capone fedora is similar to one worn by Robert Redford." href="/p-948-churchill-capone-fedora-hat.aspx" target="_blank">Churchill Capone </a>and <a title="The Biltmore Ark fedora is similar to one worn by Robert Redford in &quot;The Natural.&quot;" href="/p-732-biltmore-ark-fedora-hat.aspx" target="_blank">Biltmore Ark</a>.</p>
<p>Redford’s worn-in hat is indicative of the great work done by the costume designer of the film. Most of the characters and extras have generally worn-in hats in various states of repair and disrepair, which is far more accurate than movies where everyone is wearing a shiny new hat. Most of the fur felt fedoras in this film are teardrop crowns, but some are center dent. You’ll also find extras wearing a lot of <a title="Click here for Panama hats." href="/search.aspx?SearchTerm=Panama" target="_blank">Panama hats </a>and <a title="Click here for boaters." href="/search.aspx?SearchTerm=boater" target="_blank">boaters</a> or <a title="Click here for skimmers." href="/search.aspx?SearchTerm=boater" target="_blank">skimmers</a>. It is summer in the film, after all.</p>
<p>My favorite bit player in the film is the team psychiatrist who continuously compares losing to diseases in an effort to motivate the team: “Losing is like a disease, worse than bubonic plague.” In fact, every time I’m force to listen to a motivational speaker, I usually snicker that line to whoever is seated next to me. I digress. This character in the film wears a <a title="Click here to see a straw optimo hat." href="/p-425-shantung-optimo-straw-hat.aspx" target="_blank">straw optimo</a>, in case you’re curious.</p>
<p>And there you have it. Now you’re all set for another season of baseball and stunning hats to wear to the game. What’s left?</p>
<p>Batter up! Or should that be hatter up?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/borsalino-lambdB-brown-Med.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-145" title="borsalino-lambdB-brown-Med" src="/chronicles/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/borsalino-lambdB-brown-Med.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>We’ve just received a shipment of leather Borsalino caps made especially for our shop!</p>
<p>Part of the Gruppo Doria line, both the 8/4 newsboy cap and the duckbill cap are made from the softest leather we’ve ever felt on a hat. The leather is rich, supple and extremely lightweight. Each cap is satin lined and complete with a soft cloth sweat band. These caps also come in fitted sizes to maximize your comfort. The 8/4 is a rounder design that measures 11 1/2 inches across its widest point. The duckbill has a bit of an 8-panel look, but it tappers more to a point at the front of the cap. It measures 10 1/4 inches across its widest point.</p>
<p>The Doria duckbill cap also comes in a sensually soft nylon that is gold with a dark blue and red houndstooth design. This Borsalino cap also is satin lined with a cloth sweatband. It is 10 inches across at its widest point.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the shop, we find that “<a title="Instructions for properly sizing a hat." href="/t-hat-sizing.aspx" target="_self">How do you size a hat?</a>” is probably the #1 question we’re asked every day.</p>
<p>It is not as easy as it might sound.</p>
<p>A hat can speak volumes about you, and it is most important to find the styles that speak to you. We might recommend a wider brim for people with larger noggins and shorter brimmed hats for folks with less pronounced craniums, but none of that advice means anything if you envision yourself in specific style. We aren’t going to push a cowboy hat on a hipster or a top hat on a paperboy.</p>
<p>Hat sizes aren’t measured in traditional inches. Clearly, a size 7 ¼ hat doesn’t mean the circumference of your head is 7 ¼ inches.</p>
<p>To figure out your hat size, get a tape measure. As a hat should rest about a finger’s width above your ear, wrap the tape measure evenly around your head at that level. (Use a mirror to make sure you take an even measurement.) Then check out our handy-dandy hat-size converter below. See what your measurement in inches becomes in hat sizes.</p>
<p>A nicely fitted hat should rest gently above your brow, neither pinching or squeezing your head nor sliding down to your ears.</p>
<p>If you already know that your head is particularly oblong or round, our friendly staff can gently adjust your new hat to better fit you.</p>
<p>Just remember, measuring isn&#8217;t an exact science. Like shoes, not every brand measures exactly the same fit. However, following these guidelines should get you pretty close. The best way to get a true fit is to try on your new hat.</p>
