Namaste,

man, what a fun time of learning it would be to talk with you. i wouldve held onto them too.

I am a great fan of the Fedora myself, and I have several. Felt in the winter, straw in the summer. Although, I guess the straws are actually called Panama hats, still the same shape and style. I think it is nice that more and more men are starting to wear hats of some type again.

Regards,

Mark

I was eight years old at the time so I remember John F. Kennedy's inauguration on TV in 1961. A couple of the dignitaries in view behind him while he was being sworn in were wearing top hats. If memory serves me, Lyndon B. Johnson was one of them (though I don't really trust my memory on that one). I never saw a guy wearing a top hat after that. Just in very old movies where wealthy guys went to the opera, etc.

I've heard it said that men's hats fell out of fashion shortly after that innauguration because Kennedy didn't wear a hat. It's a shame he didn't. I recently bought a Dobbs short brimmed fedora & a Bailey's short brimmed summer fedora. I do love a nice hat.

I read that somewhere too but I'm sure a lot of what happened during the 60's affected men's style.

Yup, I'd have to agree with that.
