Even though I'm among those that think Jake must have his hat, I know what Terry is saying. When I started writing my reunion story, I had to ask myself if Jake would be running around in the same jacket and hat that he did nearly 20 years earlier. Honestly, I kind of doubt it. Maybe he'd have a new hat that he picked up during the war, or no hat at all (I know guys in the 50's wore hats, but not every second). Maybe, being a big baseball fan, he'd have a ball cap he favored. But, for the purposes of a reunion script, I knew the fans would want to see Jake as close to how he was in the series as possible, and that means the old hat and jacket. No doubt.
