No, I like the size of the hat. (I'm not really familiar with Mr. Hammer
so I don't know when he was working but I'm assuming from the fins on
the car that it was in the 50's so I guess his fedora could be huge like
that.)

and I suppose also that Mr. Marlowe's hat could be the same style:

                   .______.
                   !' /   !
                   ! / /  !        __
              .=.  "------"       .\ |.                   |\
             (   ) || [] [|       `._.'--.      ______    | \
             `-.-' |/=====|       /   \ /      |\ ____\   |  \
               |            )   ()/\`-'/       |\|     :  |   \
         a:f__ | _______   ( - ()^--.--.--. __ |\|     |  |  /|

Hmmm, maybe not. It looks like a top hat.
