Hats off!
Marlon Brando’s very stylish and ethnic hats are up for sale again. They are huge exclusively meant for fat ones to fit in.

Discovered in Brando’s Mulholland Drive manse after his death in 2004, the hats—seven in straw, one in wool plaid, and a black fur-felt fedora—were sold by Christie’s to a private collector, Andy Spade. Seems Spade’s American fixation has just found a new target. He has recently made these hats open for sale at $650.
He is playing it safe by tagging the hats as Brando-owned, ostensibly to let the name do wonders for him. Spade’s team is going one further, trawling the actor’s filmography to pinpoint where and when he sported each. So far they’ve spotted a few iconic appearances (butter-lovers will fight over the fedora from Last Tango in Paris), but most date from the actor’s later-in-life wack-job period.
Spade laughs and says “”I was talking to someone yesterday who would have five-hour conversations with Brando on the phone about how big his dick was.” Same goes for the actor’s head, apparently. His hats are “huge—I can’t really wear them,” Spade says. But for those of you out there who feel capable of filling the great man’s boaters, they go on sale next week.”
Available for $650 each at Jack Spade, 56 Greene St., NYC, (212) 625-1820,
