I have been wearing an Indiana Jones styled hat for my outdoor adventures for years. I am balding and the last thing I need is a melanoma on top of my head. My uncle had one and it looked like a manhole cover by the time they were done getting it off.
They wear the narrow brimmed ones an not the classic styles like the Stetson Stratoliner.
Gotta stay cool whilst sipping yer PBR.
Yes, but they wear them badly. A fedora goes well with a tailored suit or an overcoat. They look ghastly with a lumber-jack plaid flannel shirt or a logo-emblazoned t-shirt, as usually worn by hipsters.
Fedoras have already come back around. I saw them in the mid/late 90s during that short-lived swing-era revival, and today fedoras are a basic accessory for your average hipster.
Hey, listen, if the fedoras and trench coats are covering up bad hair and big butts, more power to 'em.
Seriously, what's classic -- looked and functioned good when it came out two or five generations ago, and will look good and function as well for another five generations. Fedora hats and trench coats, like tailored suits and denim jeans, are classics.
Now, the return of the mid 1970s men's polyester one-piece bell-bottomed leisure suits of dazzling lime-green and camel plaid on white, with Peter Pan cuffs and collar and contrasting topstitching -- that would be disturbing.
Gads ... I'd still rather see that than Organic Panic's Walmart babe! *gack*
