    hi guys

    i bought this recently real cheap as the guy said it was a fancy dress one, but i quite like it

    i can see why he thought it was a fancy dress, but i thought it looked a bit like a moleskin fabric, certainly nicer than fancy dress

    i dunno though, let us know what you think

    any thoughts appreciated

    It is very nice, but not 'official'. I agree, better than fancy dress, maybe theatrical?

    great shout Aj, theatrical hat is something i never thought of. god i love that image !!

    cabaret might be a good angle as well for someone looking for a costume

    unfortunately not buddy, its a tad too small, so it makes it look like ive got an extended head !!

    the good thing about it is that its not as rigid as a proper bowler, so more comfortable to wear

    talking of cabaret this was something else i found recently, great condition as well, looks unplayed

    dont know if its worth anything, soundtracks usually are not, but i just love the imagery of the film
