Fedora

[Anonymous No.6145745]

I know there's a few threads in this general area, but most seem to be talking about hipster fedora's and the like.

Pic related: My current hat, though the band has been lost on a mountain after the glue holding it gave up in the heat.

So I'm looking to spend some serious money for a hat. I have currently a old leather outback style fedora from Overlands. About 10 years and its starting to show its age. I tend to be an out doors guy and heavy of frame, so small brims look dumb as fuck on me. Wanted to know if any one here knew of any places online that sell a similar style but beaver fur and in the $600-$1000 range.

Two links to other hat sites is my offering and Hat thread general, post shit you think is cool.

Not trolling.

Was in decent shape till about 3years ago after running myself ragged in a full time job as a tattoo artist and full time at printing press. Lost both jobs and just stopped giving a fuck in that 3yrs. Ballooned out like a mother fucker. Been working to get back to target weigh last two years and have made progress dropping about 50lbs.

No troll, just honest.

This thread is most likely legit. Most tattoo artists dress like complete faggots and wear dumb hats.

Being a former one I'm inclined to agree. As for that hat part. Common, this is my thread, if you're going to be an 'asshat' (see what I did there) take it somewhere else.

I'm not joking and I'm looking to spend money. I came to /fa/ looking for useful tips or opinions (useful being the operative word) on how to acquire my prefered hat. I've been wearing fedora almost 2 decades. This is something I'm doing out of a fad. I'm looking for a lifelong investment in this.

sorry m8, your style is just really at odds with /fa/'s. the kids thinking you're a troll are idiots, but /fa/ is taking a lot more influence from the high fashion and street wear scenes, not any sort of outback or midwest styles. I enjoyed the pics you posted but this is completely out of my realm, I don't have anything helpful to add. I'm not even sure where you could go to get some info, maybe redd1t has a sub tailored towards this taste, I'm not sure what keywords to look up. gl.

Buddy... listen. People here HATE fedoras and have told you this repeatedly why that is.

There are so fucking many neckbeard sperglords who think adding a hat instantly makes them classy motherfuckers. Fedoras are like socks with sandals or like wearing a black leather belt with brown leather shoes.

It's a faux pas on /fa/ to ask about fedoras because anyone and everyone immediately assumes you're either a troll no mater how many times you say you're not or one of said sperglords. This is a simple fact of life on /fa/.

I don't even know what to say to you. I get what you're say, and why. In the end though, it just ends up being not helpful to a guy who really doesn't care about the 'culture' of a bunch of narcissists. A wide brim hat is practical for me. I spend long hours in the sun miles from shade and tend to live out of the hat. I'm not a D&D nerd, and I have no concerns about being classy, other than I want it to be something that's going to last and not look dumb as fuck.

I came here with a budget and some of what I'd seen. Really this whole experience has turned me off to this board and have no interest in returning. I hope moot kills this place.

To answer your question try Iron Heart, from what I can remember they used to have hats and even if they don't their stuff is durable as fuck so I'm sure you'll find something of use if you work long hours outside.

Think of it like going to /mu/ and telling them you really like Neutral Milk Hotel and asking for recs, or /tv/ and saying you really like Drive. The average poster will think you're trolling, and even if it's very clear your being sincere, no one put so much effort into something that isn't even "trolling" anybody, well shit, these tasteless newfags couldn't rec you anything better because they don't know anything better, they're just glad to be above somebody in the pecking order and are exploiting it as much as they can. They couldn't even tell you why fedoras are a "fashion faux pas", they just know they've seen intelligent people call them that. Of course, these people can see that every article has its own use and nobody ever set a rule saying that if you wear this kind of hat, you look bad, but the newfags don't know that, rules are all they have to follow because they haven't developed their own understanding or personal idea of what looks "good" and what doesn't yet.
Don't get annoyed, people just don't have anything to contribute. Your apparel is very regional and totally detached from major fashion cities, it's just not what you'll find on a fashion board.

Okay, making an Ayn Rand thread on /lit/. She obnoxious and her philosophy is objectively (lel) flawed, but that she's still relevant, there is value in some of her ideas, she is worthy of discussion. But still, you really can't expect that out of /lit/. It might seem unfair and pretentious at first glance, but with some context you'd realize it was just simply a shield against troll spam.

>They couldn't even tell you why fedoras are a "fashion faux pas
-they have been out of fashion for numerous decades
-they are now commonly associated with lowlifes who attempt to hide their lack of substance and appearance with an item that was synonymous with early-mid 20th century artists
-they need to be paired with a well fitting suit as they are a business casual item - 99.9% of the wearers today have little to no fashion sense

Here the brand (while nice) tends to have a bit of a hick connotation. Particular breeds of subhuman farmers (not all farmers as there are some cool ones) tends to wear them. These people typically have a shotgun in the back window and Calvin pissing on a ford or chevy emblem.

Not something one wants to associate with.

[Anonymous No.6146439]

>>6146415
They're out of fashion because they are not convenient to wear in cars. They went out of fashion around the time that the average Joe was moving to the suburbs and stopped using public trains (with roofs/doors tall enough for hats to be worn inside) and started driving cars, where the hat had to be removed while driving or it'd get smushed.

The problem with fedoras is that, as was pointed out numerous times before, hardly anyone knows a) how to pick a hat that matches their face shape, hair color, and complexion and b) hardly anyone actually knows what to wear them with. They are and always were an accessory but people nowadays seem to treat them like the central or focal point of their outfit, sometimes to the extent of just throwing on the hat and calling it a day.
