Hi everyone,
I'll introduce myself very briefly. I'm 24 years old and have always had a passion for dressing with a certain flourish and style that goes somewhat against the grain. I have been lurking for about a week now and decided to sign up and start posting, because first and foremost you guys have such a great community.
Now, onto the hat question -- I realize this isn't exactly from the "golden era" (perhaps a decade or two after it), but how can you go wrong with one of the coolest guys ever to grace this world with his presence? Of course, I mean the Chairman:
Now, I have the same body type as Sinatra... kind of tall and wiry with somewhat of a small face. I feel like a hat with a larger brim would overpower my head, so I really like this smaller brim style with the wide ribbon -- and I even like the color.
If you can't tell by now, I know very little about fedoras, but I'm willing to learn. I would love to have a hat very similar to the one pictured as my first hat, so I guess my question is this: Is there a particular name for this style (smaller brim, certain dent in the crown, etc)? I know of Borsalino, but I don't think I'd be willing to spend that much money. Are there other brands that I can achieve a similar look without breaking the bank?
Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning a lot more.
