I like wearing my fedora every day. Hats are functional & practical & I've really taken to wearing a hat so much so that now I wouldn't even think of leaving for work without my fedora. It's a classic men's look & I encourage all men to consider making a hat part of their regular routine. On the weekend I usually wear my panama. It's a lighter & airy choice for here in Arizona especially in warm or hot weather. I think the has you're wearing is a trilby with the brim in the front snapped up.

If you have a round race, a bowler is what you need to wear.

I wore a bowler hat with a Halloween costume few years ago. Going for a Dr Jekyll look with a bowler hat. After examining myself in it, I thought it really brought out my inner gentleman. I experimented with my look by wearing a cheap costume quality hat. It really added a new element to my look and fast forward a few years I got a legit bowler hat for my birthday. Nothing feels better than going retro classic.

Hat is too small for your head...

@derekemrie2987

Yes, I agree...too small a hat for your facial type, I have no idea how tall you are so that's another issue to consider. Personally I like flat hats, I lke berets too, I wore a USN "dixie" cup for 20 years, not a very functional thing, but they did tell us in basic trng. if you fall over the side and have the dixie cup with you (not very likely) just keep it wet and wear it like "Giligan" and it will keep your head from burning up, never did figure out the functionality of a military Garrison cap, guess it does give a little warmth but will fly right off your head if there's much wind. Happy Hat Wearing!

I own about 20 Trilbys and a dozen bowlers and wear one everyday. I was hooked on these two types about 7 years ago and every suit I own I have a hat that matches it perfectly.

I'm 53 years old and I began wearing a Tilley hat (please see the Tilley website) this past summer to keep the hot sun, and the rain off my head... and I wear it with confidence. I get a lot of looks and comments simply because most men will only wear baseball caps, but I've never received any criticism so far. Thank you for all your great advice, my confidence had been lost for far too many years.

I've been wearing fedoras with my suits for work in the winter time for 5 years now. Winter hats mess up my hair but these keep my head warm, if not my ears. Now everybody wears them. I use pomade instead of gel to keep my hair under control. Looking forward to the series!

About four years ago I started wearing a Fedora. Now I own seven of them. I am 6'5" and 225 lbs. I been told I wear them well. As I get compliments from the ladies. At bars I been told that I look like a musician. I may look the part, but unfortunately I not one. Thank you for posting this video! I have really enjoyed all your videos.

Fedora's have more the "I blow a mean horn" look.

Personally I prefer and wear flat hats at work with casual attire. I appreciate the work and research you have put into your articles & videos.

The pics of celebs wearing hats either in a movie scene or actually in public were awesome. They made me laugh at times. Well done!

I've built a large collection of fedoras--not trilbies, the brims are 2 inches or more. And yes, I'm usually the only one wearing them, but sometimes I've seen older men wearing them too. I'd love to see you talk more about hats again.

Loved this! I wear a narrow brim fedora, myself. You're right. You have to wear it with confidence and I have a collection to coordinate with each of my suits. Frank Sinatra was famous for saying "Tilt your hat. Angles are attitudes." I was always taught to angle it so that the brim is slightly covering your weaker shooting eye. As always, thank you for another wonderful, informative video!

I am 55 and lived my entire life in Texas and one of the few white guys not getting skin cancer cut off my head or face. I attribute this to wearing hats a lot off and on in my life. My brother never wore hats and my dad stopped after LBJ left the office. Both had skin cancers removed, it is pretty common for white guys down here, but I escaped it thanks to hats. BTW, JFK not wearing a hat at his inauguration is the reason American men tend not wear hats any more. People tease me about my long beard making me look Amish with the hat, but no one gives me a hard time about the hat, and women tend to love it. I have a Churchill Homburg, a navy Stetson Fedora, a gray Stetson Open Road, a nice Resistol cowboy hat, and a beat up Resistol cowboy hat with a rattlesnake band that I skinned myself for yard work and such. It keeps the sun off my face in the summer and my head warm in the winter. If you want to wear a hat, wear one. Just get one that fits, like the video says. The biggest key to wearing a hat is to make it fit your outfit. If you wear a nice hat like a fedora, open road, or homburg, then you have to be wearing nice clothes. If you wear a beat up hat, don't be wearing a suit.

Caught this vid late, enjoyed it very much. I'm UK based, the fedora is essential to my everyday attire, especially when the weather's inclement. It's not common to see this type of head wear, but for rain, drizzle and snow, it's just the ticket along with a trusty over-coat - it's extremely stylish and practical. My hands are also free from awkwardness of carrying an umbrella, though that has it's own charm if I'm ever so inclined to carry instead. As I'm suited and booted most of the time, wearing 'best bib'n tucker' as we say here, a hat, which in my case is my fedora, is a natural accompaniment perfectly completing an outfit.

One of the nice things about being a middle age man is you pretty much can wear what ever you want. I love hats from the Stetson Cattleman, to the newsboy, to the bowler. People just dressed better in the late 1800s to 1930s.

That hat is WAY to small for your head. WAY.

I'm so glad that you finally brought out a video on hats, though I was wondering if you were gonna bring up hats like the flat cap, I found that they seem to work a bit better for guys in there 20s as opposed to the ones you've mention which i notice seem to worn but men in their 30s onwards..

when he put on the hat he reminded me of some detective from the 60's...

I would say that the hat you're wearing is slightly to small in its circumference, meaning that it sits to high up on your head. But alas my knowledge in hat-fitting is limited. Maybe in a future video you could touch on how low or how high up a hat should sit one's head. Btw, thanks for the vids. I highly enjoy them.

I wear a Trilby style Fedora with a little bit oversized suit coat and I love it. I find it awful that men don't find this classy anymore, my father thinks that I look like a mobster and I don't really like that term. I love the older styles more than the modern looks of today. I'm still in my teens and every time I wear a cabby or a Fedora I'm told that I look like an old man. I am confident about what I wear so it doesn't bother me that much. To me, that just means that I dress more mature than I'm expected to wear.

What I've got in my picture here is a felt porkpie with a leather band that was on a western "gaucho" hat in Colorado. I re-steamed and shaped the brim to where it's a bit more western. Slightly up at the sides, angled down at the front and back. I like wearing it to musical gigs.

I've never liked refering to fedoras and other associated elements as gangster or mobster. This was standard contemporary mensware in the early 20th Century. Most men did it, just as most men commonly run about in shorts and t-shirts today.

Antonio - Long time watcher here, love the vids. As a hat guy myself (2 Fedoras and 3 Trilbies) one thing that might be good to cover is storing and care of your lids. For instance, most people don't know NOT to lay a fedora with the brim side down as it will alter your brim style. Helpful info and thanks again.

RCFiddyOne thank you for watching my videos. thanks for the suggestion. I will add it to my queue list

I wear hats in daily settings. Usually the Trilby is my goto. Recently I was given several more hats. This was exciting, now I'm trying to figure out what hat is appropriate or looks best for what outfit.

Excellent content. I am partial to the panama and have it in white, tan and others. Changing the accent color can really change the tone based on where you re going.

Fedora hats are fashionably imposing, and not everyone can pull off wearing a hat these days, Im from Los Angeles, and I see tons of people wearing hats the wrong way, i always say the hat should always compliment your clothes. Never wear a cool fedora with a tap out shirt that's just tacky, never wear a fedora with basketball shorts, or jersey, go with a more casual sophisticated look. Always wear a fedora with the respect it deserves otherwise your just gonna look like an idiot. I'm not saying go out and buy fancy expensive clothes, you can do this on a budget and still look good with your fedora hat. Like Antonio said in the beginning of the video you gotta have confidence in wearing a fedora especially in this day in age, where us fedora enthusiast are being judged as being weird, creepy, hipster, try hards, and other names these haters like to call us..

Xirus5 Yes, but that was kind of the point. Hats are functional, but have been fashion oriented in modern times. A fedora is semi-formal like most business suits. A Homburg is formal, a top hat is extremely formal. I have many hats including a few Newsboys. I prefer tweeds to herringbone patterns. I have black, dark and light brown and a medium gray one. These are casual hats and don't look right If you dress up. Fedoras look best with suits, but the rules no longer apply, even though they were once very strict. That's probably why people didn't look like dopes. They knew how, where, when and with what a particular hat worked.

Thanks Antonio. I've really been looking forward to this!

I also have a question, I use a handkerchief a lot while speaking, any tips on matching it to my suit? Thanks, Jeremy.

Yea I love fedoras and have a very expensive collection of them. I also just fund a high quality one at a 2nd clothing store for just 3 bucks and it fits my frame perfectly. Buy I usually wear a flat cap daily.

Flatcaps are a more casual yet trendy option, useful for vest + shirt combos. It's a shame really that fedoras/trilbies are nowadays associated with neckbearded, overgrown manchildren who criticise religion whilst having an almost dogmatic devotion to a children's cartoon aimed at little girls.

+Real Men Real Style I'm not sure if somebody else already let you know about the reasons behind the lighter and darker colors of the western hats. The darker ones were made of felt or similar material and worn in the winter provide warmth by absorbing what heat they could. The lighter colored ones are generally made of a lighter material (Like straw or other grass-type material) to stay cool when worn in the hotter parts of the year.

Jim G I understand the frustration however, a Trilby is technically is a type of Fedora. A Hatter, Hat Maker or Milliner (Also terms that have varying and sometimes conflicting meanings depending on the source you refer to) might refer to it as a Fedora. A Trilby can also be referred to as a Crushed Fedora. It was invented several years after the Fedora to make it easier for men to get in and out of cars. I am wondering if it really matters that much. I prefer to call it a trilby so as to differentiate it from the traditional Fedora.

ok what type of hat does boris have on rocky n bullwinkle? :)

Hey guys, just a quick question. What are the hat characteristics of Neil Caffrey/Matt Bomer's hat in the Tv show "White Collar"? I know it's a fedora but what about the Brim, the taper and the crown? Thanks a lot guys.

Stingy brim fedora. Should be a slight bit larger. Looks good!

Real Men Real Style A great site to read up and make friend with hat collectors is www.thefedoralounge.com Now all vintage hats are $$$ and the same for some newer made ones. I been picking up different style of hats for a bit now . working on good collection of nicely aged but well cared for fedoras. the people over on Fedora forum can help point out how to buy has as well.. Sizing is very important. You need to know you hats size as putting out $50 to $200 for a hat that's the wrong size isn't good. wool felt vs Fur Felt vs straw. There many thing people need to know. the foum can help out

Btw I finally cave to your ads and bought a bigskinny wallet lol

TheColonelAngel great to hear! It's always great to hear back from people like you who are using the information I put out.

Nice video. Informative and serious .

Hopefully this isn't a ridiculous question, but if you have a bowler hat, does it become a homburg if you indent the top? Conversely, if you have a homburg, does pushing the top out make it a bowler? I ask because I have a hat my grandpa used to own that looks like a bowler, but I'm not sure if I'm the one who's supposed to indent it to make it the correct "style," or if such hats have a fixed indentation and mine is permanently a bowler.

I love hats, so thank you for the video. The hat you’re wearing leaves too much space between the brim and your ears making it appear too small. If the circumference fits comfortably then I suggest you try a hat with a deeper well so it can rest lower. IMO... the flat cap, paperboy hat, English driving cap, etc... is my favorite though. So many different styles and the ability to dress it up or dress it down make it the most versatile. I love fedoras but the hipsters have ruined that hat and look for the next few years. Thanks hipsters!

the hat you're wearing is too small.

Nice video.. I have a collection of classic hats as mentioned in your video... Wearing these kinds of hats have been in my familt for a long time.. the men from previous generations my family have worn these classic hats styles and that has been passed down to my generation.

I think its a really good thing to wear a hat. We kinda have a group of people that we all wear our own style and we just are known for it now.

Top Hats have been given slightly different styles with Steampunk. Slapping a pair of welding goggles on them make for a formal yet sci-fi look. Mad Moxxi from the video game Borderlands 1 & 2 has given the Top Hat a different look as well. I have a Top Hat that I have placed a pair of welding goggles on along with an Ace & Jack of Spades tucked in the band along the side. Added feathers along the other side. What is quite strange while looking at my Top Hat. With the goggles on it. It actually reminds me of an old Model T Ford. The square front end with large round head lights. There are more uses for a Top Hat than Black Tie wear. As long as you have the taste for Steampunk & the confidence to pull it off. I've worn it out in public just as I have described without being at a Black Tie event. Most people actually liked seeing the look.

***** hmm, true. Still though, does not look bad. Yes he could wear it in more of a classic way, but over all it looked pretty good.

i think the white and especially straw cowboy hats are worn during the warmer season and the dark felt/hide hats are worn during the colder season.." think" but people can wear whatever they want

Hi there!can I plz have a link of Fedora hats shop in New York City

I love hats for style. I agree that they've lost their original purpose for most situations. Hats can also be a burden, much like clothes. So comfort is always a huge consideration. I don't wear much, simply because it impinges on my comfort. I think head ware is easily the best way people can increase their appeal. Some eye wear is awesome. But again I disdain discomfort. But for special occasions, I love wearing hats. As for the hat on your video, it's nice, but seems on the small side. But the style seems to fit you and your video personality. I think wearing classic style hats is too "stuffy" unless they're worn with more modern stylish "loose" clothing.

Shylo Vilecoscious Great comment - appreciate the feedback and info sir!

Men's fashion is best when solidly rooted in pragmatism. Most of the hats are unapealing to me because they do not have a broad enough brim. The "western" hat may have a broad brim but the way it curls up is showy, and defeats the point.

Hi Antonio, i really like hats and caps, but i don't wear them cause my head shape is large and thin so you know i have like a big head, so when i put on a hat or cap i don't like how i look, and comments of other people are that it doesn't fit well, so what advice can you give me? I really will like to wear hats and caps

Porkpie hat-

I'm all for people being themselves and presenting themselves any way they want, but there's something about the fedoras and trilbies running around that makes people look like they're trying to be something that they aren't, or that they're trying to bring back a time and place that never existed. Any man from the 40s or 50s would slap the hat off your head if he saw you wearing it indoors.

I think there is something to be said about the etiquette to wearing proper clothing. I'm a fan of Downton Abbey and if you watch the show they change their clothes about 5 times a day. Every outfit has their proper place and event. As I was watching a behind the scenes special on the show they talked about hats. The butler wore a Derby and the Lord wore a fancier Homburg. The etiquette specialist for the show said that a Lord would never wear a "lower class" hat such as the Bowler/Derby. But he also said that once you enter a building your hat must come off.

The hat does not come off when you enter a building if it is a public space. The hat comes off in a office, or when entering someones residence. Then again what do I know wearing hats? Not too much.

Awesome. Thanks 👍

I rock a beret or a greek fisher hat most days but I have most of those. I collect hats.

Regarding your hat Antonio (And I luv ya man,,,BUT) That hat looks like a bottle cap on you. Donate it. With the exception of baseball hats, most of the time, hats on men, especially men in their 20's and 30's, can't pull it off. It always looks contrived. Like an act or they are in a movie. Try hard and corny.

Strange: I think baseball caps look childish, corny and cheap unless worn for some sporting activity.

I should point out that, in the modern day, the fedora has a rather unpleasant reputation as being worn by a certain category of sexist men known as Nice Guys (tm). It's a hat that I would avoid under any and all circumstances.

Real Men Real Style Actually, no. It's a different one, but still from My Little Pony. Most seem to call her Alula, though as far as I know, she has no official name. Basically, Nice Guys (tm) form friendships with women for the purpose of leveraging that friendship for sex. There's a bit more to it than that, but as you can understand, it's not at all a pleasant experience for the women in their lives. A friend of mine has had a few run ins with Nice Guys (tm) recently and, as a result, she's actually been considering changing the way she treats guys that she meets online in the hopes of making herself less appealling to Nice Guys (tm). The Geek Feminism Wiki has an excellent article on what's known as Nice Guy Syndrome. Fedoras are such common headgear among Nice Guys (tm) that there's a chart of Nice Guy Syndrome "levels" and one thing that's always mentioned is how many fedoras they own. There's also a mock magazine cover advertising articles that would be appealling to Nice Guys (tm) and it's called "The Fedora'd Gentleman."

How should the hat match the rest of the out fit? For example, with a sport coat, are there any color matching rule? With formal suit, is wearing a Gatsby a strict NO NO ?? Basically I am looking for just 1 or 2 hats that will go well with most situations:- in office with/without suit, in public gathering with the dressiest being with a Sport Coat, and a bit during the colder/snowing nights. Appreciate any help

I have recently begun making my own clothes and have made a couple of newsboy hats. Ive gotten compliments when Ive worn them out and have even given a couple to friends and my doctor. I am looking to get a bowler very soon.
