My writing or your reading? [huh]
the fedora was not seen as a special stylish or classy hat [...] while the fedora was worn by "everybody"
The fedora as such was not a special stylish or classy hat - other hat styles were. The fedora was worn by "everybody" - bums, office people, sharecroppers and billionaires. The latter probably wore Knox 40 and Stetson 100 - but they were produced/sold in very small numbers. Most were made to get you into the shop, so you at least left with a $5 lid on your head and a happy wife at your side
