Original Police Hat

Among the crowd of the huge city of Los Angeles in 2019, you can easily spot the policemen. These ones are affected to the minor tasks. The risky missions are not for them. The deadly ones, like retiring the replicants are for the « Blade runners » as Rick Deckard.

You can see these policemen all along the movie, but their relations with Deckard are very thin. Without the uniform it will be difficult to say that they are working together for the protection of the citizens. We can ask ourselves: why they have this lack of interest for a member of their teams.

This hat’s design, which is an important part of the suit is a creation of Charles Knode. Many preliminary designs have had to be made during the process of creation with the director of the movie. Finally, it’s the functional aspects of the item that are very obvious. In fact, in this desolated future you have to protect yourself against the acid rains and the pollution. And as policeman you have to be very recognizable just to show very quickly that you are here to protect and to serve the population.

This is one of the light up police officer hats along used in various scenes of the movie. The hat as two lights under the brim in order to light up the actor's face. There is a layer of a dirt like substance under the face shield since production. The front top of the hat has an attached metal police badge.
