When you think of the sickest, most badass hats that have ever graced the silver screen, your mind is likely to go toward Indiana Jones' fedora or Oddjob's killer bowling cap. But none of those can touch R.J. MacReady's super massive cowboy hat from The Thing. This hat is great for an infinite amount of reasons, all of which dawn on you the minute that it appears on-screen.
The Hat Says Plenty About Kurt Russell's MacReady Apart from its size, the hat always ends up being MacReady's go-to head hugger of choice when venturing outdoors, the calling card of any genuinely reliable and trustworthy cap. This dome piece is also regularly paired with a thick leather flight jacket, gray hoodie, olive green ripstop pants, army boots, and a killer pair of black goggles.
The Potential for MacReady's Hat Beyond 'The Thing' Sadly, no one in the rest of film history would even attempt to pull this hat off ever again. It's almost as if the hat, as well as anyone's desire to pull it off, burned with the rest of the North American base at the end of the film. Even Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China, another John Carpenter character played by Kurt Russell, only goes so far as to wear a simple trucker hat.
