Description

Al Pacino Costume Hat from "The Godfather." This striking black Homburg was worn by Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in the 1971 classic. Francis Ford Coppola demanded Pacino for the role.

In Excellent condition, the hat has a Western Costume Co. stamp and "Mr. Pacino" written on the inside of the brim.
