I love it!!! Can I steal your line?
Be my guest...and leave it at that.
I love it!!! Can I steal your line?
I've ordered a very nice Indy Fedora. I really love the hat.
I have never worn a hat other than a baseball cap, and plan to wear the Fedora as my standard go to lid.
My concern is the reaction I'm going to get.
Any advice/comments would be appreciated.
At onetime, everyone here donned their Fedora for the first time in public and I'm quite sure with a little trepidation.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Good luck! Wear it with pride.Wish me luck guys, I'll let you know how I get on with my first ever Fedora outing
When I wore my black fedora for the first time I wasn't sure how people would react, but so far its been very positive. Most of my friends have tried it on or asked to and several teachers have looked the other way when I'm in the halls at school. One who is very strict did tell me to take it off but she was smiling as she did so and told me I was very well dressed. Even my schools principal has complimented me on it once. Wear what you like and have a good attitude about it and people will notice and approve
It can be intimidating at first but confidence is key. Don't let the hat wear you

I too just started wearing my fedoras I have about 12 I started buying them a month ago, I have received a few complements, nothing negative not that I would care like everybody said they are for you the wearer. It sure made a difference when I dressed up the first time and put my fedora on now it just seems natural to grab one on my way out. I don't know how to post pictures so I can upload any not that anybody wants to see. But I am very proud of my hats and I enjoy expereminting with them and bashing the crown the way I like them. Just wear it buddy you'll look great and glad you did, never be ashamed or afraid they make a person look sophisticated and worldly, A man about town!!
Not wishing to hijack the thread but...
My girlfriend suggested that since we have a free day tomorrow, we go to London (We live just SE of London on the border of Kent). So *deep breath* I've decided to dress up a little and take my Jaxon C Crown for a spin!

Ya.
My scenario that I have used with no ill effects:
Idiot: 'Hey, Indiana Jones!' (or some such)
Me: 'Who's that?'
...So, head up, be confident, and try to forget the fact that suddenly all of the women want you, and all of the men want to be you.
I bought a Borsalino fedora while studying abroad in Firenze for college five years ago.[...]
Since I starting wearing (my first!) fedora 2 weeks ago, I have received several comments- and all of them have been very positive! I was at a wine tasting event last night with several friends who had not seen the hat yet. They all loved it. My hat was the talk of the night. It is now part of who I am!
Great hat comment stories. Welcome to the Lounge ... :yo:
