Fedora Hats are back in Fashion

The fedora hat is extremely famous and popular with men but some time back, it had gone a tad bit out of fashion. This hat ideally has a dent on top and is slightly pinched in front. The brim of the fedora is usually around 2.5 inches but can be wider. Short brimmed fedoras are very much in fashion and look incredibly trendy. Thanks to television shows like Mad Men and a few movies, this hat has become extremely popular.FEDORA HATS
FEDORA HATS

FEDORA HATS
The name ‘fedora’ comes from a play named Fédora by Victorien Sardou in 1882. The play was written for Sarah Bernhardt and was performed in the USA in 1889. Bernhardt, an infamous cross dresser, played the character Princess Fédora who sported a soft brim, centre-dented hat. Soon, this hat was adopted as a fashion trend by women activists and later, in around 1924, men started wearing them with city clothes. This hat is associated with gangsters and the hat was extremely popular from the 1920s to the 1950s. Amongst celebrity figures both fictitious and non-fictitious, Indiana Jones and Michael Jackson, popularised the fedora hat most.
TRILBY HATS

However, many still confuse two styles, the fedora and the trilby. A fedora is characterised by a wide brim bow and band while the trilby is characterised by shorter brim and ribbon. Some American hat makers design the trilbies with a wide ribbon which make them looks like fedoras, hence increasing the confusion. There are other ways to tell the two hats apart like the size of the brim and height of the crown.

Whatever might be the confusion, fedora hats for men is a style statement and can never go out of fashion. Especially with celebrities like Johnny Depp sporting the hat ever so often, the style will never die. In fact, many consider the fedora to be reborn recently.

When a person talks about men’s wardrobe he/she does not necessarily focus on a hat wardrobe; the goal is to talk about the importance of hats in a man’s closet. Secondly, while most men love to wear hats, there are also some who don’t; but again it is important to talk about men’s head gear especially because they are functional. So, before concluding anything about hats one should understand whether this accessory is a necessity or an optional head wear. An airy and light weight hat can also act as a protection to save the head from the scorching heat. Though, this may sound a little bizarre but yes, hats can save your head from the rains, at least for some minutes. Hats not only add vibrancy to the wardrobe of a male. It invariably contributes to the attitude of a gentleman. Besides, there are certain hat-etiquettes which a man needs to observe to make these head gears even more meaningful for the male community.

Hat Etiquettes

Though hats may come in different shapes, styles and colours they are basically treated as any signature accessory. Moreover, for men who love donning the head gears it is important to maintain certain etiquettes. Though men are usually reluctant in respecting hat etiquettes, the western culture and norms believes that a true man should observe good manners expected from him. Besides these good manners are counted especially when a man is judged from a gentleman’s perspective. Here take a look at the hat etiquettes:

  • Remove the hat as soon as you enter someone’s home, an elevator or an eatery namely a restaurant.

  • Remove the hat when a national anthem is played. After removing the hat, place the same over the left hand side of your chest; the place where your heart belongs. This particular etiquette is observed to respect a nation and its people.

  • Raise the hat by holding its crown whenever you come across a female acquaintance; especially if it is in public.

  • Touch your hat’s brim just the time when you want to greet your friend.
