I always thought it was when they rounded the corners and got rid of the sharp lines.

Nah, I just had to wait until I could sew my own jeans. For a while I held out hope that Levi Strauss would start making them again, but they never did.
Good catch!

Part of the problem is that people use it in a slovenly manner, with messy tshirts etc and think theyāre being fashionable. The PUAs/MRAs/Men Going Their Own Way take to this because theyāre all about taking shortcuts to gain ārespectā they feel entitled to. They are very invested in the image, not so much the work to get there (like any good cargo cult.)
āFedora wearerā doesnāt tar all, just the ones who buy the $10 one and substitute for a personality.

Every once in a while Iāve found a straw (actually, paper) fedora-thatās-not-a-trilby that fits. Iām like a size 8, at least.
I found the first such hat in St. Thomas (but made in Mexico). I left it in the back seat and my niece (an adult) sat on it.
I found another one this year and I left it in, or on top of, a rental car a couple weeks ago.
In the winter I have a newsboy cap, but because itās large enough to fit on my head, itās just big, and I figure the only thing Iād need to complete the image is to wear some grey slacks and some running shoes with it.
ETA: forgot the cheap, synthetic fabric fedora that I found at Target that I also wear in winter. Iām certain Iām a couple of decades past its target (no pun intended) demographic, but it fits and isnāt narrow-brimmed. It was, I think, a lucky find, as Target usually just has trilbys for the mesocephalous.

I donāt even know who ātheyā look up to. Maybe Vince Vaughn at his shittiest? Theyāre fixed at a timeless look of slapdashery.

My daughter got a suspension from school for calling out a guy wearing that same shirt. She said it was sexist, he started taunting her, his friends joined inā¦
And she took her bra off and hit him over the head with it. The boyās parents said they were āalarmed at the violence.ā I mean, she lost her temper and shouldnāt be smacking people with her undergarments, but my sympathy for parents who let their son wear that is lacking.

Her bra is pretty much 100% padding so it was more a pillow fight than anything. Sheās a small girl.

Did the boy wearing the completely-inappropriate-for-school tshirt receive any censure?

Not to be confused with Fedora, my favorite operating system.

Not that I know of. But my daughter was very popular at school for a few days, with the girls at least.
Honestly the principal seemed kind of embarrassed to suspend her for a day, but the parents were upset. Although now I kind of wonder how the boy described the incident to them, because my kid was probably half his size.

I have a black straw fedora Iāve been wearing almost everyday this summer. I like how it looks, it keeps the sun off my bald head and out of my eyes, and allows heat to escape. So there.

Arch for life! Holy war!
I am pretty sure Iād rather explain to my parents that she turned me into a newt (though I got better) than explain the circumstances that led to me being deservedly walloped by a girlās brassiere.
Your daughter rules.
