An outstanding hat from an outstanding movie. "Quigley
Down Under" instantly became one of those iconic
movies, and Tom Selleck created what we think was the
best character of his career in Mathew Quigley. If you
haven't seen this movie, or haven't seen it lately you
should rush out and get the DVD. The story, the acting,
the direction, the costuming, and hardware are all first
rate.
"Quigley Down Under" inspired a side match event at
many Single Action Shooting Events. Usually called the
"Quigley Match". It is single shot buffalo rifle, off hand, at
200 yards or so. Tom Selleck should be proud.
Tom Selleck's hat was also the best of his career, it suited
him perfectly even though hats of this proportion actually
became available a few years after this time period, but
we wont worry about that detail. The style is similar to our
5" brim bull rider but not exactly the same. Notice the
slightly different crown and brim; our Quigley is exactly
like that in the movie.
We don't just adapt a pre-existing hat to make an
impression of the look, we form our hats by hand
exactly like the original.
The hat shown is formed on a Resistol 5X Beaver body. It
actually has a very narrow ribbon binding on the edge of
the brim, while the movie hat had a raw edge (no ribbon). I
personally prefer the binding, and it's very subtle, but you
may have your hat either way at no additional cost. We
hand make the leather band of chap leather and rawhide
lacing.
Quigley wore a braided calfskin stampede string that went
through the brim and around the back of the crown. We
have only double loop calfskin strings as shown, but we
are trying to have the single string type made for us.
