Hat amongst hats, the fedora is legendary, gracing the heads of movie stars of the film noir era, being an enduring symbol of masculine style. Worn by gangsters, film noir detectives, and the legendary Indiana Jones, it was also a universal everyday hat for all walks of life for decades. And while some unfortunate appropriations have sullied its reputation recently, it endures strongly to this day.
Version française: • La star du Noir et Bla...
The fedoras I wear in this video come respectively from the sadly defunct Jack Henry in Kansas City (RIP) and made by Stetson Hatters, and from Herbert Johnson herbertjohnson.co.uk

Honestly I'd like to see these hats come back not for the style, but simply for the function. Keeps the sun off your back and eyes, and the rain too. I often find myself outside for 15-30 minutes at a time, far too short to put on sunscreen but long enough to be burned in hot enough weather, and wishing I had something to cover my head with. Baseball caps are nice but don't cover the back or ears, and "fishing hats" don't have the right look to them. It'd be nice to see a return of hats like this.

I've found myself in a similar pattern. I've made a rotation of hats I wear to suit the weather. The fedoras I own are all partially paper so I keep them safe inside until summer, then I have a flat cap for when it's raining but not too cold out. Finally I have an Ushanka for winter.

I have worn fedoras for much of my life. Raised by my grandfather he was of the era in which a man did not go outside without his hat or cap, depending on his occupation. I was a hat man at age five. :). I have noticed both fedoras and the pork pie seem to be regaining some popularity.

The name Trilby comes from a novel of the same name published in 1894 by George du Maurier - Trilby was the female heroine of the novel which also gave Svengali to the English language. The novel was adapted for the stage and the play was adapted on 7 occasions for the cinema. "Trilby" as an adjective was associated with many items of memorabilia, including feet and shoes.

Back in the early 70s I inherited my Grandfather's gray Stetson Fedora.very similar to the one in the video. I wore it proudly in a casual hippie style for years with faded jeans and an old Navy Pea Coat. The leather inner band eventually rotted out and I cant find a hatter to repair it, so its long retired to a hat box. I still wear a cheaper knock off tho. I figure Im an old man, I'll wear what I like.

030724 I just started following this channel a month or two ago. I like it. I started going bald at age 16, and for the greater part of my adult life have enjoyed being hairless. However, this attitude is mirrored by a behavior that has endured more than 50 years. That is, I cannot leave the house without a hat, unless it is summer, night, humid and unlikely to change until after I'm back. To me, stepping outside without a hat is like going outside without a pair of pants on. I have a small collection of Alpine hats from the 60s and 70s and a substantial collection of Stetson Open Road. Through these niche obsessions, I have learned a lot about hats. For me, these lectures are graduate classes in hat history. Bravo Maestro!

I'm not sure how well you can actually see it in my channel thumbnail to the left here, but I do have my own "Dorfman Pacific," Stockton, CA made Fedora which I purchased in 1994. It is still in excellent condition, (for the most part) as I take good care of it and typically only wear on special occasions; some of those special occasions being when I would perform live on stage as seen in some of my recorded live performance videos, (for example videos labeled with "Live at The Vibe.") My two biggest inspirations for wanting and wearing a Fedora come from the mentioned, Humprey Bogart, as well as the "straight-man" half of the comedy duo, "Abbott & Costello," that of course being Bud Abbott, who typically wore a well-fitted Fedora hat while his counterpart, Lou Costello, would typically wear an undersized Bowler hat.

Actually the fedora first came back before it had completely faded away. Even as some older men wore fedoras into the early 70s, some in the hippie movement, perhaps inspired by the counterculture touchstone "Bonnie and Clyde", reappropriated the hat, sometimes ironically, and this trend continued with rock star types, as well as smart dressers (the 1970s was the peak nostalgia era for 30s-40s movies and especially their tough guy heroes like Bogart and Cagney). The Blues Brothers were merely 2 in a long line of 70s/80s hipsters that dared to wear the fedora as a beautiful piece of "costume".

One cannot forget the image of the fedora as the “spy hat.” The black and white spies in the mad magazine comic Spy vs. Spy both wear fedoras. In addition the Linux Operating System has spins called Red hat and Fedora; both featuring art of a character wearing the fedora. Which reminds me, another notable fictional character who wears a fedora is Carmen Sandiego.

my father resisted wearing hats unless it was quite cold outside. he was an army officer during ww ii, and i think he hated headgear due to the regimentation. he had originally been a reluctant draftee, and although he was eventually sent to officer training school i don't think he ever really felt comfortable with uniforms. he didn't talk about his service time, and when he was retired from his reserve obligation i was surprised to learn of it. between the advent of family automobiles and the end of ww ii i suspect a lot of men decided they'd never wear head gear again.

Oddly enough, just about every hat stand outside a chemist and rack of hats in a surf shop in my city today is full of fedoras, often with quite wide brims these days. I bought a cheap one as a sun hat this summer. I’ve worn fedoras for ages, and my favourite came from Harrods in 2006 (came home with a few hats from that trip) but they used to be quite hard to get. I got quite a nice “Indy” one at an indoor market in Sydney in around 2014.

Out of curiosity, you mentioned in the video how a well-fitted hat will help the wearer look better, and a poor-fitted hat look worse. Have you any sort of knowledge on how a hat SHOULD be fitted? Is there a science or style guide to how certain hats should be worn for different faces, body types, etc.

I wore a fedora through most of high school & college, because I was a huge Indiana Jones fan, but I gave it up because of the reputation it was getting from the neckbeard types. I'll have wait till I'm an old man to start wearing them again.
