while i am enamored with the fedora and infatuated by its shape and curves, its smoothness to the touch and certainly its remarkable malleability, there are a couple of design defects which in this modern age might be applied to the fedora without altering its golden age appeal. that being said, is there a hatter out there who is brave and foolish enough to contemplate adding these two design improvements?:
1) the hinged back brim. reason: i like to lie down or sit in a high backed chair whilst wearing my fedora which to me seems impossible to do with the current design.
2) front venti-panes [oh how i miss them on cars]with forced air cooling and rear vents. reason: i do not own a panama hat, and would like to make my fedora a four season [vermont seasons] item. it gets way too hot under a dark fedora when the summer sun is strong.
thank you for listening, feel free to offer suggestions [polite please] of your own.
