I can get behind a cute chick in a fedora too.

I really like fedoras. A lot.

See, that's what I look like in my mind when I try on a fedora.

Then I look in the mirror, and put it back on the shelf.

Amen. I'm always like, damn, that's a good look. Then I put one on and say, but not for me.

They look like fecal material. Worn by double digit IQ morons.

Sammy is owning the shite out of a derby in that pic. Kids these days should try a derby and look extra stupid.

GEAUXmedic: THANK YOU. Your post and gifs nailed it.

There is little a guy can do that makes him look more like a pathetic, attention-starved wannabe than wear a fedora.

I've always wanted to wear a hat with a suit. Are all hats that aren't baseball hats considered fedoras now? Since when does wearing a hat make you a loser? I've never personally worn one, but I wouldn't mind having one that matches my favorite suit.

It's all about style or, apparently, the lack thereof.

You're talking out your arse here. They DO in fact block sunlight, just not as much as a baseball cap. But as someone stated earlier, a fedora has a wide brim, a trilby or "stingy brim" has a more narrow one. The true fedora blocks sunlight just fine.

And the ones made from a good quality felt are ten times warmer than a mesh and fabric snapback flatbill.

I get the initial hate for fedoras due to the high number of hipster douche's that wear them. But with the right cloths, on the right man, they are a nice touch of style and do serve a practical purpose.

Most of you haters are probably young guys who were wearing flatbill Affliction hats last year or backwoods blue collar types that consider pleated jeans, boots, and a western shirt to be "dressing up". For special occasions like weddings and funerals you'll wear your fancy lockblade instead of your everyday Leatherman on your leather belt that has your name stamped on the back.

Style, just like everything, should be approached with moderation. One fedora per group is probably a good rule.

Only 1 fedora per group though. Anyone else tries to whip one out y'all just look gay together. It's the LAW.

You've almost got to be Italian, Hispanic, Greek etc to pull it off.
