I don't get the infatuation either, Anthony. But I guess everyone needs a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
You've made me think about this. And some of those Indi freaks are positively scary with their obsession. But if I'm charitable, isn't it just their slightly weird way of appreciating the Golden Age? Maybe they start with the Indi Fedora, then progress to a more general appreciation of 1930s style. I would hope so. I came at it from a different angle. All my male ancestors seem to have been avid hat wearers - apart from my dad, who's from the JFK era hat rejecting generation. So I've always loved hats, including high crown asymmetric wide brim British rabbit-felt Fedoras.
