Bad flashback

Somehow, that shouldn't even be called a 'hat'. When, if ever, were those popular? I recall my grandparents gave me one in the late 50's when I was small. They never liked me.

Other examples of "crown cut" fedoras
Here are two more:
  I couldn't find the cut crown for Huntz Hall, but I know I saw some Bowery Boys movies where he was wearing them. My guess is that this style emerged in the 1940's. |

Probably earlier than that. When dad's old hat wore out pretty bad, a lot of them were passed down to junior to have his way with. They were around for a while. I would say it emerged around the 1930s for sure as we can see examples in many Little Rascals episodes as well. Rumor has it that Buckwheat's derby was a castoff from Stan Laurel.

Master artist Joseph Beuys, who claimed that after his fighter plane was shot down he was rescued by a tribe that wrapped his body in felt in order to heal his wounds. He wore a hat all the time and fashined the asymmetrical side dents.

I sometimes wear my fedoras this way, in imitation of that look. It doesn't work well for me but no one has been rude enough to say so. Yet.

Creases!

I agree this bash is a fantasy. Who would ruin a good hat to prove it can be done?
