Recently I've been seeing more and more fedoras on TV and in movies, etc. But I can't seem to process which one is the most popular one. Which fedora look is the most average everyday look. Can anyone help me out with this?

Average Fedora?

There are no average Fedora's. All Fedora's are extra-ordinary. Baseball caps are average.

In old films, it seems the center-dent style seems pretty common. Gangsters in movies (and their PI heroes) seem to get the tear-drop (but I remember my grandfather calling it a "C-crown"). I think the center dent style strikes me as the most "average", but I can't back that up in any way shape or form. It's just a feeling.

In those old movies, I've seen every crown shape imaginable.

What always strikes me (and Matt Deckard too) is how unstudied the crowns looked. Even the most debonair movie heroes' fedoras had somewhat mashed-up crowns. Even the front pinches could be uneven.
