The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

This has probably been addressed already, but I didn't see it in the archives - Anyone have an ID on the type of hat Drake wears?

Confirmed - Derek's got it on the nose. The hat you're looking for should say "Cap, Field, Hot Weather" on the green tag. Just search for "Vietnam Hot Weather Cap" on eBay and you should be able to find one for 10-20 bucks, they're quite common. Hope this helps!

might help. The original ones were marked in 1/8 size increments like a lot of military headwear. If you find one thats M/L/XL/Conehead in size then errr, I dunno :lol:
