Who wants to help me find a bright red trench and matching big-brimmed hat so I can cosplay Carmen Sandiego?

Because that would be DEAD AWESOME.

I know, it is suppose to be a fedora, but the brim is never quite big enough. I think something in this style would be closer to 'the look' and they do have it in red.

Oh, my goodness, that big-brimmed hat is perfect. I am so grabbing that. And even when I'm not using it to play Carmen Sandiego, I can wear it to keep the sun off!
