Still haven’t gotten around to Angel, but I’ve watched some Buffy for sure.

I understand people wanting to “rescue” the Fedora from its sullied reputation, but I don’t understand people who take offense at the people who have a negative first impression of the people who wear them. It’s like the name/word “santorum.” It’s not my fault it became connected to grossness.
I’ve even worn a fedora. I slapped one on my head in a store for fun and my then-girlfriend said she thought I looked nice and encouraged me to buy it. I responded with something along the lines of “but douchebags!” After being encouraged that I should pay no heed to their reputation and just wear it as an accessory I bought it. It looked good on me and I got lots of compliments (and I’m not frequently complimented on my appearance so I was feeling quite happy with it.) But the people who complimented me knew me and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was marked for everyone else as a douchecanoe. So I abandoned it. It didn’t help that my old high school preservation instincts (don’t stand out!) are still intact.

What! I loved that show… horribly under appreciated! Why is it that the only two directors who will employ Eliza Dushku is Joss whedon and Kevin Smith…

I can’t claim to be a huge fan, but I did get this biography souly on the fact the design was amazing. It was a good read too, IIRC.

That’s a good biography. I always liked his essays, which are often meditations on the realities of American life… He’s worth reading, for sure.

Adam Savage and Indiana Jones both wear fedoras.
That is all.

Indiana Jones was a bit of a womanizer. I am sure Adam is a nice person IRL.

Hey! I found a ‘fedora’ wearing own carry advocate (from Texas!)

I wore one in China for a while - I got the feeling that you could try out different styles there as people wouldn’t consider you that much weirder than they already did, and fedora wearers = douchebags wasn’t really a thing. Then my wife lent it to someone who was stuck in the rain without an umbrella, and I never saw it again. I go almost everywhere by bike now and usually wear a helmet, so the whole wear/don’t wear a hat question is basically moot at the moment.

Womanizer, but he had class about it. Not this classless douchbaggery the current crop of hipsters have.
I’d wager that the douchebags are imagining themselves as modern day Indian Jones types, though. They think they are being all suave and panty-wetting, but really they’re just being dicks. I love Indian Jones, but still… kind of a womanzing dick. But he looks amazing in the hat.
Wait… I just used the term “panty-wetting”…

Frank Sinatra has to be the person PUAs look up to - charming, smartly dressed, attractive to women… and a self-obsessed dick, by many accounts.

Yeah, but I doubt he’s the only one they look up to… and Indian Jones [I would fix it, but then the comment wouldn’t make sense, so my dumb mistake stands] is a much more recent popular culture figure. But who knows. They certainly admire an age when women had much less agency and control over their bodies.

Pretty sure they generally wear other clothes too.
