a Bogart-type fedora would do it fine !!!

(someone must’ve made up trump wearing a bogart/indy jones fedora by now, doncha think?
don’t see it online, though...........????????????????????
They’re AMERICAN....at least until the late 50s and l8r...

Some think fedoras disappeared from the heads of real American men due to JFK coming upon the scene and setting the trend to bareheaded!

And/or...the new compact cars—Falcon, Corvair, Valiant, etc.—which left little headroom for men’s hats in these smaller cars........

Semper Fedoras!

The RedHat people already have a trademark for that!

Isn’t that the style Cheney was wearing in his famous sneer at 0bama?

I deeply regret the lack of style among men these days. A snappy hat adds class and dignity. If I were president (thank God I’m not) I’d wear a three piece suit with a winged collar and bow tie. For a hat I think I’d opt for a homburg over a fedora. And I’d bring back formal dress for the inauguration, striped pants and claw-hammer coats with top hats.

The real killer is the federally-mandated headrest, which is incompatible with any hat other than a ball cap.

Hats went the way of pantyhose and shaving.

My father used to complain that they weren’t making cars anymore with a roof high enough to allow him to wear his fedora. He would never have considered going to church without his suit, tie AND HIS FEDORA. Now people go to funerals in blue jeans.

In fact IMO,POTUS.45 should update his headgear to reflect his true self...he is not Joe SixPak anymore (the ballcap has served him well), but it has outlived its usefulness —he is now more...a THE MIKE HAMMER! A real fedora guy.

But not just any fedora, a very special order fedora...call it “The Deplorable”!
Along the line of a Bogart, Phillip Marlowe, Shell Scoot type, etc.

YEAH!
