When did the “pinch” you see on fedoras like Indiana Jones’s, Dick Tracy’s and Eliot Ness’s become fashionable? A look at American Western hats shows the two side pinches at the front of the hat were extremely uncommon in the decades post Civil War.
I ask, because I’m putting together a Western costume. I’ve already decided on the Akubra Snowy River for my hat because it suits my personal style, but I wonder if the pinch would be anachronistic for the 1870’s.
