SHORT TAKES : Dick Tracy Fedora Fad in Wings

Two-way wrist TV-radios will be tough to find, but this summer’s suave man-about-town hunting for the Dick Tracy look should be able to get the comic book sleuth’s trademark fedora.

George W. Bollman Co. Inc., a hat maker in Adamstown, about 20 miles west of Philadelphia, is pinning its hopes on the success of a new movie about the square-jawed crime fighter. The movie starring Warren Beatty and Madonna is to be released June 15.

The company, which claims to be the world’s largest maker of wool felt hats, is busily turning out 40,000 pale yellow hats with wide black bands. The hats will be shipped to stores next month.

The company is the sole contractor for Dorfman Pacific, the Stockton, Calif., firm that owns the license for Dick Tracy hats, and Bollman hopes they become a fashion craze.

After Indiana Jones captured moviegoers’ imaginations in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Bollman sold more than 300,000 hats styled after the archeologist’s fedora.
