And thatâs a trilby not a fedora. Fedoras have a wide brim and are nice hats for keeping the rain off my head as well as the sun out of my eyes and off my male pattern baldness which makes me sad that it has picked up such a reputation.
Anyone got suggestions that is not a baseball hat?
ETA I have had 2 Tilley hats in the past but they are pretty close to a fedora to be mistaken for them but are damn nice hats if you have to wear one.
Yeah, if youâre going to write about hats, at least learn what it is youâre talking about. The hipster hat is the trilby. Which shouldnât be consigned to oblivion for that reason either, but itâs a completely different hat. Almost no one in the US wears fedoras.
I wear a flatcap/newsboy in the winter. I would consider a Panama hat in the summer. The former carries a whiff of Hipster, but the connotations are more âvegan fixie-riding gentleman who enjoys PBRâ rather than âpernicious douchebag.â The latter may get you mistaken for Cuban if you live in Miami and have the right skin tone. Do not pair with socks and sandals.
Itâs just a hat.
I get so sick of the fashion and the fascism, makes me crazy, wanna try a little smashism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ipCvagf8tg
Bleh. I used to wear a fedora way before it was cool and then uncool to wear one.
Actually I still wear one in the winter if I am wearing a nice overcoat. I have a nice trench coat and a vintage 70s wool long coat that look good with it. I donât just wear it all the time any more.
I love my Tilley (T5?). Well, I say âmyâ, but I stole it off my dad, really.
About 20 years ago, whenever I was out-a-doors I wore my Filson:
Original Hat - Tin Cloth | Filson
Kinda basic and wonât win any fashion awards â even if you stick a lovely fly in the bandâŚ
âA widely-recognized symbol of douchebaggeryâ?
Jeezus, is there anything at all that prissy self-righteous Modern Moralists wonât wax judgemental about?
Detecting douchebags by hat style? Sure, that sounds reliable.
You realize, I hope, that that will only work in a deeply conformist society where no one dares to wear clothing that is âinappropriateâ for their particular style tribe, and reads the popular press obsessively to determine the very very latest in whatâs âinâ and whatâs âoutâ.
Such a weird combination of social insecurity and judgemental self-righteousness.
But as long as you feel superior about yourself when youâre done, I guessâŚ
Some people did in the 80âs. Just watch an old Duran Duran concert film, and youâll see many. Not me, though, I look uniformly terrible in every hat.
@crenquis: Wear one in olive drab for maximum effect. 
No doubt the confusion arises because theyâre both named after the hat worn by the eponymous heroine in the first staging of a 19th century play.
I hope you have a lot of fun bullying people over their clothes, bodies, and social awkwardness.
The truth about hats with brims is theyâre terrible on windy daysâŚtheyâre basically kites. But Iâm still hanging on to my old Dobbs Weathermaster. Itâs an umbrella for my head.
This is the same kind of fashion-bullying that âcoolâ people have always done, just in a new package.
itâs actually about ethics in sartorial choices
