Fedora Friday #8: Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964)

This week, we are raising our brims to Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964) — the musical caper that proved no one wore a fedora quite like the Rat Pack. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago but dripping with 1960s swagger, this film gives us Sinatra’s dark, disciplined fedoras, Dean Martin’s laid-back grays, Sammy Davis Jr.’s jazz-infused stingy brims, Bing Crosby’s gentlemanly lids, and Peter Falk’s shadowy villain hats — all perfectly tailored to their on-screen personas. But to truly appreciate the style of Robin and the 7 Hoods, you have to understand the history of the Rat Pack itself — that unbeatable blend of friendship, flair, and fedora finesse. And then came Bing Crosby — the man who started it all. When Robin and the 7 Hoods hit theaters, it was more than a musical — it was a stylish farewell to the age of classic headwear and mid-century elegance. So pour yourself a cocktail, set your fedora just right, and join us for Fedora Friday #8: The Hats of Robin and the 7 Hoods — a tribute to the film, the fashion, and the fearless cool of the Rat Pack and their mentor, Bing Crosby. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
