Mens Fedora Hats

                



                   Back in the Good Old Days before JFK, all men wore hats. It was uncommon not to see men wearing a hat on their head out in public. Whether they were dressed up in a suit or sport jacket or even a dock worker in his blue collar coveralls and cap on his head. All men wore hats. Plus wearing a hat covered up a man's balding pait. Many in the hat industry that are still alive say that the person who single-handed destroyed ubiquitous head wear on men was John Fitzgerald Kennedy. JFK was the first American President to not be seen wearing a hat on his head. In the beginning he would carry one in his hand if was to be seen with one at all. He hated them. Their is only rare footage of him wearing one. If anything JFK might be seen carrying one but after a while he even stopped doing that. When hats were on top of nearly every mans head. The hat that was usually on top of the well dressed man's head was the Mens fedora Hats. The Mens fedora Hats was invented in the 1920s. Mens fedora Hats are also called the Trilby as well. A Mens fedora Hats is usually made out of felt that may be made of wool or if they are expensive made of rabbit fur, that has a two and a half inch brim with the crown that rises majestically about four inches and has a crease on top of the crown and has indentations on the front of crown as well. Back in the old days, Mens fedora Hats only came in grey,brown, and black. These days they are made in many colors. Some of them come in bright colors to match your suit. What makes Mens fedora Hats special is that you can bend the brim ever so slightly to conform to your style. Most popular is bending the front of the brim down. Some people like to bend the brim down and give the hat a slight tilt on the head. However you wear your Mens fedora Hats, the choice is up to you. Mens fedora Hats made a major comeback for frequent suit wearers in the 1985 movie "The Untouchables". In the movie "The Untouchables" all the men wore Mens fedora Hats since it took place in the 1920s during the boot legging days with Al Capone in Chicago. Men back then who were of the means really knew how to dress and wearing a Mens fedora Hats just finished the look.

Fedora Hats History

The hat is typically creased lengthwise down the crown and "pinched" in the front on both sides. Fedoras can also be creased with teardrop crowns, diamond crowns, center dents, and others, and the positioning of pinches can vary. The typical crown height is 4.5 inches.

The brim is usually approximately 2.5 inches wide, but may be wider, can be left "raw edged" (left as cut), finished with a sewn overwelt or underwelt, or bound with a trim-ribbon.
