Is your fedora tipped?

[Alon]

How do you wear your fedora? Leveled or on an angle?

I always wear mine slightly tipped to my right. In this photo it's leaning back more than usual just for the sake of the photo. Normally, the tipped side is about an inch above my eyebrow.

Always at an angle, unless I've got it pushed back on my head for whatever reason.

 

[fatwoul]

As dead level and straight as I can manage. Always.

The only exception is when the pop-up flash is up, or when I am using a shoeflash. Then, my hat is typically pushed far back on my head in a very stupid-looking position, or taken off and set down somewhere. If I anticipate I'll be doing any flash photography, I wear my cap.

 

[SinatraStyle]

Mine are typically tilted slightly to the right.

 

[fatwoul]

I just noticed that I tend to wear my cap at a slight angle. Weird.

 

[KilroyCD]

My Stetson Delaware (Indy-style) I usually have pushed back a bit, but usually dead level from side to side. The other fedoras I usually wear straight and level. I'll have to try tipping them a bit.

 

[Fletch]

Routinely about 2" off the eyebrows and tilted to my right, just touching the top of the ear.
Sometimes I'll dent the left side of the crown a little lower to simulate a level look.

I usually wear mine pretty straight. I just haven't been able to determine if fedoras really look good on me at an angle. Also, based on the ones I have, and the sizes they are, they just feel better and more "correct" when they're worn straight. Maybe if I ran into one that fit just a bit differently, I'd wear one at an angle. Does the size of the hat usually have to be a tad smaller than your size in order to wear it at an angle? Somehow I've gotten that impression...

I have just recently taken to wearing mine sometimes at an angle. Seems to give a little more attitude to me!

 

[RBH]

Straight on.

 

[Not-Bogart13]

It depends on my mood and comfort. If I'm feeling playful, I tilt regardless of comfort. Otherwise, my hats sit however they feel best. Each hat seems to have it's own favorite position. Who am I to argue?

 

[Rider]

I generally wear a tip to the right. Straight just doesn't look right.

 

[vonwotan]

Unless it's dead still outside I have trouble wearing my hat at a jauntier angle. My head shape seems to make it difficult - I can only manage a slight angle or small shift forward or back.

 

[RJCNTX]

Interesting that so far, if there is any tip it is always to the right. I'm even left handed and I still wear my with a slight tip to the right.

 

[Nick D]

I usually put my hat on with my right hand, and the tilt is to the right. But if I put my hat on with my left hand, it does tilt to the left. I always find it odd because I'm not used to it.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

If I'm looking in a mirror, I tend to put the hat on straight. If no mirror is available, I try for straight, and usually discover I have tipped it slightly to the LEFT. (I am Right handed, by the way.)

 

[chucklehead]

isnt straight an angle as well

 

[AdmiralTofu]

I'm right-handed, and I always put my hat on with my right hand, but somehow, it always winds up tipped to the left. That's just how it feels most comfortable on my head. So it becomes a little awkward because, coming at my head from the right, the hat always winds up level or tipped to the right -- and then I have to take a second to adjust it (which doesn't look cool or confident at all! lol Slap it on and go, I say.). I've started to use my left hand to put on my hat, but it's taking some getting used to.

[Fatdutchman]

My hat is always cocked to the left. It just sits naturally that way. Though right handed, I put my hat on with my left hand. I can't put one on straight without looking into a mirror...

I even like hats where the brim is up on the right side, and down on the left...

I live by the words Dean Martin sang in "Robin and the Seven Hoods"...

"A hat's not a hat till it's...tilted!"
