I just wanted to touch on the outfit end of wearing the "classic headwear, the Fedora"
I never wear a suit when I wear my fedora. No need. They go with everything short of a Speedo. I thought I'd mention to anyone interested in wearing one that although fedoras worn with a nice suit look very appealing; feel free to wear with a nice leather jacket (full, 3/4 or short),jean jacket, sport jacket, trenchcoat, hooded sweatshirts, hiking jacket. They go with jeans, codoroys, baggy/non-baggy khahkis and even camo. They look great with all of the above.
The trick to wearing them with anything is matching the color with some flair (basically like anything else you wear.) IMHO anyone who really loves fedoras should have at least 1 grey/charcoal, 1 tan/camel, 1 brown, and yes even 1 black! (+Remember black goes with every color in the spectrum with ease) Other colors nice but not needed include but not limited to: off-white, forest green, and dark navy. I suppose a color like brown could go with most if not all other colors you are wearing, but by expanding your color collection you add that much more to having a new look/new outfit.
To heck with the suit bit!! I wear mine with a jean jacket and blue jeans, sometimes with my brown short leather jacket, I've worn them with my hooded sweatshirt layered under my blue jean jacket. They all look sharp, unique and stylish. Feel free to wear with turtle necks, sweaters and open collored dress shirts. Match your fav fedora color to a layered shirt or the pants. It's the 21st century and anything goes!
Style and a creative flair go a long way! Suits are great but lets face it, a weekend warrior is so much more fun!
Ps
I need still need a black and tan myself and then I'll be good to go!
