Any publications re styles types etc

[John in Covina]

Hi Guys!

In reading some of the posts on fedoras, there seems to be a lot of choices for everything from the brim, to edging, to crown height, to the pinch style, to the ribbon and bow style and more. Is there a book or magazine that has this stuff described with pictures and such to help a newbie understand these choices and style relevance? If no any body want to write up an FAQ for fedoras on this?

Warmest regards,

Try this one...

I came across this hat retailer's site which lists some books on hats. Most of them appear to relate to women's fashion, but if you scroll way down the list, there is a book about men's hats. In fact, I may get that one myself...

Good luck.

This one?:

Mens Hats ::
by Adele Campione. Cronicle Books, 1988
Buy This Book This is the companion work to WOMENS HATS by the same author and publisher. This small format book pictures men's hats with descriptions beginning with the 14th Century and ending around 1950. A brief history ends the volume.

That's it...

I don't own it, but the title and description suggest it might work as a starter volume. Maybe a little Christmas shopping for myself...

Hats for Men... used.

They've got a few used copies at amazon.com real cheap, and Hats for Women, too. I just grabbed a copy of Men for 3 bucks!
