Why can't modern actors get the hang of wearing them? They look so awkward and self-conscious. They're subliminally ill-at-ease wearing hats, and it comes through. Men of the 1990s just can't wear hats with any kind of panache. Even soldiers wearing army hats or caps can't get them right. They look like I remember recruits looking the first few weeks after being drafted. In a month or so, they lose that "green" look and get the hang of wearing their capsjaunty and casual. Maybe if today's actors wore a hat regularly for a break-in period they'd overcome that obvious greenhorn look.

I was watching this movie today and noticing the same thing. Michael Madsen comes closest to wearing his fedora with panache. But then he has a retro look anyway. I can see him playing the kind of roles Ralph Meeker used to play.
