/fa/ - Fashion

they were never wearable, they just look decent in black and white films and photographs where the wearers' heights are surreptitiously cloaked.

They went out of fashion for decades and then got adopted by the cringeiest people in human history, but sure, I bet it’ll look great on you

As with many things, the fedora, trench coat and cargo shorts combo started at 4chan and trickled down.

>>15160107
When has 4chan ever manufactured anything but fake news?
Fedoras are /fa/ and functional offline only

>>15160120
>When has 4chan ever manufactured anything
Pre-2016

>>15159805
Not really. If you want a brimmed hat then looks at the Stetson open road or dune or something like an Akibra bushman or campdraft

>>15160469
surely larping as a cowboy is the ultimate cringe

The euphorics didn't wear fedoras tho, they wore trilbys, and usually patterned and flourished in some cringy ways. Personally I like fedoras and think they looks good with suits, certainly they are better than flat caps and similar styles, which are the modern day fedoras anyways.

>>15160532
Only one of those has a cattlemen's crease. The Stetsons are both crossover styles and the Akubras are open crown hats for you to steam and shape into whatever you want.

kill urself my man

>>15159805
You can only wear fedoras if you're in a ska band or 60+ years old. No you can't wear clothing ironically, anyone who does that is a fucking tool.

>>15160633
Why?

>>15159805
There's an obnoxious trend going around with aging 30+ millenials to go "folk" style and wear these obnoxious hand fitted felt and suede "heritage" hats along with some vintage hunting clothes, plaids, thick fleece, button down sweaters, and listen to rubbish faux-folksy music on vintage instruments like accordions and ukuleles.

These people are faggots.

Don't be a faggot.

>>15160951
That looks good though. Post fit.

>>15160571
Hats like those narrow-brimmed cloth, nylon, or even polyester trilbies were more of a late 2000s, very early 2010s trend, until backlash against it became more noticeable by 2012 or 2013.

>>15160951
This is probably what more fashion-conscious hat-wearers are aiming for, more recently; hats with moderate-to-wide brim widths, and maybe even somewhat higher crowns than the usual 4 inches to the crease up top height.. Even the mid-2010s held the moderate-brimmed fedora as somewhat fashionable, if mainly represented by a few celebrities and some hipsters.

>>15160469
I own both a Stetson Open Road and an Akubra Bushman. The other hats you mention are nice styles, too. My Bushman hat is styled like this picture.

>>15160469
And, my Open Road has the cattleman's crease, which I like, but it's still the only hat so far in my collection that has one, for now.

No shit

The fedora at this point is part of a period costume, rather than actual fashion. It's in the same class as a renaissance fair

>>15160571
A trilby is a a kind of fedora. You are arguing that a short-sleeved shirt is not a shirt.

>>15159805
There are more kinds of hats than just period correct fedoras and 8 panel garbage.

if you've got a good fitting suit then why not spice it up with a fedora

>>15161641
Shit analogy. Do you think that all felt hats are fedoras?

It would be extremely difficult.

Reddit atheists didn't kill fedoras, the proliferation of cars did

>>15160532
> surely wearing clothes you enjoy is the ultimate cringe
>>15160951
> Anyone who enjoys this aesthetic is teh gays lmao
Seethe.

>>15161571
You two have to touch penises now. It's the law.

>>15159805
Redditors used fedoras together with tshirts and jeans
Just dress well and it will be no different than any other hat

>>15160951
So a cowboy listening to ITAOTS?

>>15162647
I agree, my point about "surely larping as a cowboy is the ultimate cringe" was really to illustrate the ridiculousness in saying that one kind of hat, however well fitting and suiting, cannot be worn because of an association, but another one can, even though you could draw an association from any hat to something cringy, larpy etc.

>>15162983
>ITAOTS
Classic hillbilly instruments like the singing saw? A whole song about loving Jesus? I dunno, seems pretty cowboy to me.

>>15159821
This.

>>15160951
>There's an obnoxious trend going around with aging 30+ millenials
It's called balding.

Reminder that the people talking shit about wide brim hats dress like this.

>>15162343
Bro, it's an entirely appropriate analogy because a trilby is literally a kind of fedora.
>Do you think that all felt hats are fedoras?
No, but fedoras are a wider category than you think. Especially if you include what was called a fedora in the 1920s and further back.

>>15159810
fpbp

>>15163729
Those look fine though.

>>15164719
Only because a professional costume designer put them in 1920s Berlin where they belong.

>>15163454
sad reminder that people who look like your picrel have more sex than people who wear fedoras

wild and crazy people like Sam Hyde get laid mor ethan you

>>15164968
With men

>>15160951
Hats look fucking gay on 98% of people. Only people who can pull it off are legit Chad cowboys.

>>15165949
Hats look fine, /fa/ is just obsessed with dressing in all black soicore and looking like uninterested HIV positive heroin addicts and calls everything outside of that gay.

>>15164973
he is a fag

>>15166243
all you have to do to prove everyone wrong is post normal dudes pulling them off today.

>>15160571
that's not a fedora

>>15166550

>>15160652
Quite literally the only answer to the fedora question

>>15162484
for you

>>15159805
Yes, start with a panama though, those can be pulled off with more fits and are still worn by normies becuase they are functional. I always loved hats and inherited a lot from my pop pop who was the same way. I have a few formal hats, a kind of odd mixture, I’m looking to get some more versatile hats like a Stetson Frederick. But you have to find the right hat for your outfit, not all formal hats look good with every suit, you need to look at the suit (or outfit) and think about the era/ and vibe of the hat. For instance I have a a black felt homburg I only got cause it was real fur felt for cheap and I think it has only paired well with about 3 or 4 different outfits (a formal 3 piece 30s inspired outfit, a 3 piece tuxedo, and a turtleneck under a black overcoat)

I'm going to post a few pictures of Luca Rubinacci. If any person could pull it off, it would be him, but I'm not sure if he does. Here's the first image. This one looks alright.

>>15167243
Same with this one. It looks ok.

>>15167245
This one genuinely looks pretty good.

>>15167246
But then this one looks bad. Are they all just flattering pictures? Does he actually look good in them most of the time? I can't decide. I'd have to meet him, which won't happen.

>>15167249
>>15167246
It should also be noted that these two use the same hat on the same man. I feel like I've learned nothing from this exercise.
