Eamar said:But... but... I actually do love the fedora. The classic, wide-brimmed kind as worn by Prohibition-era gangsters and Indiana Jones. NOT the trilby, which is what a lots of the "fedoras" I see posted on the internet actually are.
Regardless of that whole... thing (it's a freakin' hat, people. Hats are not misogynistic), I'm a woman anyway. Does that make it ok?

Related to what you both said. According to Rob Rath, the fedora got it's start thanks too "Sex-symbol actress Sarah Bernhardt" in the play "Fédora".Johnny Novgorod said:Well, being a fashion model helps. But I agree women tend to look better in fedoras than men.
that is definitely one of my favorites as well. Unfortunately Once I go indoors (90% of my day/night time) that thing becomes a magnet for heat and my head starts to sweat like a mofo, so I can't wear it too often, and only in the winter :/shrekfan246 said:I have a terminal case of fat head which prevents me from being able to comfortably fit most hats which people would actually wear out in public.
Toques are pretty much the only things that work, because they often can stretch.

I guess it's only fitting that I'm looking to go to university in Canada...

Though admittedly I got my hat from Amazon. I never liked cons.
With the right outfit you can pull off a top hat just fine. Hell I wear one all the time and no one's ever said anything bad about it, in fact I usually get compliments when I'm out and about. I love my top hat and there's no way in hell I'm gonna stop wearing it. Really I just wish capes never went out of style, I will always maintain that the world became a poor place when we decided to do away with capes, but that's a different discussion all together. The point is, experiment around with your look and then own that shit, because top hats are awesome!Johnny Novgorod said:I love a good top hat. I wish wearing them was a thing.

I hear you there, I use to wear one all the time, for nine years. Then internet assholes ruined it for everyone, but on the bright side I discovered my one true hat love in my top hat, so I can't be too upset.flying_whimsy said:I hate to sound like a hipster, but I was into fedoras before it was a trend.
you could try tying it up like Geraldt from Witcher 2?BathorysGraveland2 said:I only really wear bandannas, and that's generally to help keep my hair at the flanks of my head and not blowing around in my face. Bandannas are considered a kind of hat if worn on the head right? It's the closest kind of "hat" I wear, at any rate. I may wear the occasional beanie, but that is rare.
Nah, I hate the look of my hair when it's tied up. Besides, I can never do it "professionally" like most women can. It always ends up looking like a right mess, haha.Vault101 said:you could try tying it up like Geraldt from Witcher 2?
*ahem* the russian hat is called ushanka i believeFlames66 said:Aw Piss, Ninjad, and only in the second post. I wear an almost identical hat (two vent holes on each side which I use to hold on a wind string, dark brown leather, made by Hawkins Headwear) almost everywhere I go.The Funslinger said:Part outback Aussie hat, part badass cowboy hat (but without the pretentiousness of the stetson) the Packer Hat rules all.

Mine is exactly that, although with only two vent holes instead of three, for some reason.
I'll admit it takes a certain amount of commitment to wear, because it's a little out of the ordinary. But other people seem to like it. Within reason, if you act like an article of clothing belongs, people seem to accept that it does. I guess that's how any trend becomes the norm.
But obviously you have to wear it with the right clothes. I'd want someone to slap me if I ever put that thing on with a hoody or something!
I have worn it with a hoody that I got from a festival and I think it goes quite well.
