Hi everybody,
Recently I realized that a disproportionate number of people that I hold in high regard wear hats. And now that it’s certain that I’m going to be wearing a suit for the rest of my life, being a little bit more stylish can’t hurt.
Where I’m really lost is where to start. The hat bashing thread is a gold mine of ways to wear a fedora. Are different styles associated with what eras, cities/countries, and classes?
What are the basic differences between the common hats I see on this forum (sorry, I don’t know enough to differentiate them yet)?
Where can I learn a bit more about the history of the fedora?
Who are the big names in vintage (and modern?) hats other than Stenson? I’ve found a great used clothing store back where my family lives, so I have a feeling that my collection might start over Christmas holidays.
If anyone can answer these questions or point me in the direction of a resource that could, I’d be very grateful.
