Narrowed first hat down to 2 choices, your wise words? Hello, Basically this is my new hat, I don't have the biggest budget... I am looking to wear this fedora with a suit, I want it to be executive and 'businessy'. Simply, which one would you experts go for? lol...

Hello everyone, I have finally plucked up the courage to just go with my heart and get my first fedora... I was going to get this, it am sure it is a fedora it is nice and it is cheap :)...

Cheers lads :) I took a look on Amazon and I found a few for 5 pounds more, crushable fedora's in black, grey and tan. I think after a look in the vintage shop in my city, I will probably get one these ones... Now I wanted to decide a colour as I also don't know colour co-ord for hats at all :L...
