Freddy Kruger’s Fedora hat is as synonymous with him as his glove with knives and green and red striped sweater but almost did not happen.
Robert Englund told Yahoo Entertainment that Wes Craven wanted the Fedora but they wanted to try out some other types. They tried paperboy hats, baseball caps and they were not working for the actor. Therefore, he went to the director and showed him why his first choice was the right choice.
As we know he won out. Which is a good thing because a baseball cap would have struck out.
