Has any item of clothing ever had such an epic fall? It went from gentlemen/Mad Man/Cool Italian dude to "this guy is going to be a virgin forever" almost over night.
I realize things like Zubaz pants haven't exactly kept their cool, but those things are just quick trends, the Fedora had like an 80 year run!

I wear a wide brimmed old leather one for fishing about 60 times a year.
So what do you want to say about me again? I didn't quite hear you the first time.

Hats should come back. Those guys in Mad Men look cool wearing them.

A fedora is only as cool as the person wearing it. Unfortuntely it's mostly worn by really, really uncool people.

Fedoras are best worn with a nice suit. I think Bruno Mars and Tom Waits are two of the few people that can get away with wearing them without one.
And maybe Miz, but only as a tongue-in-cheek douche heel.

The real answer to why the fedora went out of style was that JFK didn't wear a hat. Look it up, it's weird how those things work. Fedoras are best worn with a nice suit. This is the kicker, IMO. It seems like any time I see fedoras being worn, it's always by some dude in a t-shirt with long hair, scraggly facial hair, and baggy jeans. You can't wear a classy hat and be "Hot Topic" from the neck down. Well, I guess you can, but It just doesn't mesh well. I want to see the bowler hat make a comeback. It seems like it should have come back with the handlebar mustache, but no dice, unfortunately. |

One day, top hats made out of green construction paper with feathers glued to them will come back into style. That one I made in fifth grade isn't just sitting in my closet for no reason.

Fedoras are still pretty popular with older latino men. I would love to pull one off but I have a huge dome  |
