"C" is capped

Wanting to prove to Ennis that rodeo cowboys weren't all "fuck-ups,"Jack capped off the conversation with a wild rodeo dance, clutching his hat and shouting "Yeehaw!"

"D" is describes

The screenplay describes what happens after Jack pulls into the parking lot of the laundrymat:

JACK gets out of his pickup, stiff, his beat-up Resistol tilted back on his head, holds it steady to keep it from blowing off.

Kudos on the theme.

Ennis looked especially vulnerable when he went into the tent, hat in hand.

Hats off to you for another good theme.

"F" is frightfully

Jack and Ennis looked frightfully handsome in their cowboy hats.  Boy would that eagle feather have looked good with Jack's sly smile.

Frightfully cool theme.

"G" is glitches

In an NPR interview, Ang Lee said one of the glitches related to the filming the reunion kiss was that the "hats" kept falling off.

"H" is high-hat

L.D. had a high-hat attitude toward Jack until he knocked him down a peg or two at Thanksgiving dinner.

"I" is involves

Almost every scene containing our boys involves cowboy hats.  Notable exceptions include Ennis wearing a baseball cap working highway construction, and Jack bareheaded in the baby-L.D. scene.

In the foyer of the apartment over the launderette, there are hooks where Ennis can hang his cowboy hat.

Cowboy hats made from two different materials - felt and straw - were worn by Ennis at different times of the year.

Later in the film, Ennis wore a more narrow-brimmed hat.
