Thread: Should I purchase a Fedora?

I like them, when I was in the states over the summer I wore one often, it was a cheap one made from some kind of plastic mesh material, which was kind of ideal for the summer, not too hot.

I'm really tempted to pick up a vintage felt one, but I'm not totally confident I could pull it off over here, casually, like I could over there. If I was pulling it off at all!

There must be some 'casual' hat wearers on here, any advice? Should I just do it? I reckon it would go pretty nice with the 3/4 wool/cashmere over coat.

Unfortunately I only have one picture of me in the one I bought in the states, and it's hardly much to go on.

Go to Locke's website and take a look at their Chelsa model fedora. I have wanted one in dark grey for years. Very expensive but worth every penny.

I've got an Akubra Cattleman that I picked up while living in Australia. Love that hat. It's got enough brim to keep the sun off my neck while doing yard work and I like the look, besides.

I say go for it. I'm seldom seen without a hat out in public. For me it's Panamas mostly because of the prevailing climate here in Florida but I do own several wool felt fedoras as well. I'd think that the climate in the UK would make a wool felt fedora just the thing.

Akubra is a very well respected company and they make some really nice lids

This guy also has nice hats and reasonable prices. I've done business with him on a number of occassions and the service has always been outstanding

The answer is "YES!"

I recently purchased a fedora from Goorin Brothers. Their hats are a little trendy and some are "young," but they seem to be good quality at very reasonable prices.
