Your right. But I honestly just think its a look only a few people nowadays can pull off. And let's be honest. 80% of the people that were pulling off this look effectively back in the gap were some cigarette smoking mofos. We already know that the ot is too pussified to condone that. Thus they could never pull off a fedora

You think hipsters ruined that? I'm in my 40's and that style hasn't been popular since my grandparents generation. It's been 50 years since adults wore fedoras regularly in this country. The late sixties was the end of it.

My Dad wore a gray one with a black band back in the late 50s and early 60s. As kids we would take it out of the closet and wear it around the house.

I remember as a kid taking the bus to school. When the bus would pass a church, the men would tip their fedoras.

While I wear a cap while playing golf, I've never been a hat person.

Tom Landry was last man to pull it off? 1989.

It can't be done.

Hipsters have ruined nothing! The amount of bitching that occurs on this site about hipsters is insane. Most posters who bitch about hipsters probably could not identify a hipster if he tried.

Wear what you want to wear! I would much rather see men wearing suits and fedoras in public than a number of things: flat bill caps, skull caps, hoodies, athletic shorts (when not being athletic), sweats (out of the house), pajamas (same as sweats), Affliction t-shirts, designer jeans, and a number of other stupid looking items that men wear....but to each his own. I honestly would not wear half of what I see in public, but that is just it!!! People wear different things and have different styles. Allow the slobs to be slobs, the hipsters be hipsters, and the stylish be stylish.


Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
Wear what you like!

Agreed. I read an article about things a woman in her 30s should give up wearing and that was my initial thought as well. Who the frick cares? Why do we all have to look alike?

Wear a real fedora almost every day, my youngest fedora was purchased in 1985 when still a teenager. Only time I refrain is when driving Mrs. RedPop4's car as the head restraint sits too far forward.

It's all about attitude, if you don't ACT like an attention whore douche, you won't be one fedora or not.

If you're going to do it, do it right. Rock the shite out of it while wearing your turtleneck and chubbies shorts. With that combo, hipsters will have nothing on you, baw.

Very true!

I wear mostly ivy caps, but I had a couple fedoras when I was in high school and the USMC. I wore them mostly when I dressed up and/or it was cold.

I have been wearing ivy caps for more than a decade. They are more versatile, having multiple styles, patterns, and colors. Some are dressy; some are very casual.

Yeah, if you do it you better go all in. Someone is going to respect someone more who goes all out with it than someone who wears one with a tshirt and shorts. I would have to respect someone like that. Someone who just doesn't give a shite what others think.

Historic photos show that men wore their everyday fedoras with dungarees and t-shirts, too.
