In my constant effort to commit fashion suicide, I have decided I want to get a black leather hat like Rocky wore in the movie. MY dilemma: What in the hell does one call that kind of hat besides “A black leather hat like Rocky wore”??? It’s not a crusher, a fedora, a bucket, or a porkpie. I checked. Can anyone help me get this ugly hat?
Balboa or J. Squirrel?
Definately Balboa. I already have the J. Squirrel hat.
And that wasn’t, as you put it, “fashion suicide” enough?
whoosh

Here I am googling for “balboa hat”, thinking it a type of hat.
In a book by Chuck Eddy that I own there is a picture of the musical group known as The Lordz of Brooklyn sitting at a diner counter somewhere in NYC and they are wearing hats nearly exactly like the one Rocky wears. Unfortunately it is only a picture so I have been unable to ask The Lordz where they happened to buy their hideous chapeaux.
didn’t johnny depp wear one like it?
It may be an “Irish walking hat”.
I believe you’re looking for a “Leather High Roller”.
The SDMB frowns on commercial links, but typing that into a certain search engine ought to do the trick.
