Title: Rev. Trask fashion question
Post by: Ben on March 07, 2002, 07:57:49 PM

I always get a charge out of Rev. Trask's longwinded, pompous lectures, but he is even more difficult to take seriously delivering them in his trademark wide-brimmed, sombrero-like hat.  Might that have inspired SNL's Father Guido Sarducci?  

So, for Vlad, Happybat, and any other sartorial scholars out there, was Trask's hat commonly worn by ministers of the period?

I do believe that it was.  If I'm not mistaken, the "Reverend" Trask's headgear was called a shovel hat and was standard ministerial attire.
