Men’s hats: The Fedora and other classic styles
The fundamental rule of chic informs that if no one is doing it, then it must be a good thing to do! So wear a Fedora. Firstly for practicality, to protect yourself from the elements, be it rain or sun. Secondly, for the chic factor mentioned above.
In the following series of exchanges, with bespoke hat maker Fernand Sebbah of Paris, we will learn how to choose, style, fit, and wear one of the most misunderstood elements of dress. In Part one of the series we will take a look at fundamental hat models.
I admit to being a hat wearer most of my life, for better or for worse. And what seemed like a good way to keep warm and dry grew into a passion for sculpted felt. Clearly, you won’t remain inconspicuous wearing a hat, but if you have the right stuff inside and the presence, you can remain dry in style.
Hey there I sumbled upon your site by sheer luck, I was surfing around Yahoo for Designer Fashion when I came upon your webpage, I must say your webpage is very interesting I truely think the content, its astounding!. I’m strapped for time in this instance to completely absorb your site but I have bookmarked it and also signed up for your RSS feeds. I will be back in a day or two. Thanks for a great website.
Thanks very much for running into the site. Hope to read more of your comments later.
I’m with you all the way Michael, my favorites are a couple of Borsalino trilbies in brown and grey and a stetson I picked up for 20 bucks in a vintage clothing store.
Interesting, but too bad the hat maker himself didn’t get to say very much, or hardly anything for that matter.

I am trying to teach him to speak English. Or I am trying to figure a way to dub the track. Any ideas?
