In the early 20th century, the fedora became very popular and was often worn with suits or overcoats as a stylish accessory.
In the 1920's and 1930's, the fedora became particularly associated with law enforcement officers. Police officers and detectives wore fedoras as part of their uniforms to shield their eyes from the sun and convey a sense of authority. This association with law enforcement gave the fedora a sense of rugged masculinity and toughness, which made it appealing to men of all backgrounds.
