What do you think of modern "Street/Punk" Fedoras?

[StetsonHomburg]

What do you think of them? [huh]

 

[J. M. Stovall]

I think I need a photo.

If you mean the ones you can easily buy at Target, Walmart, or anywhere else they're sold, I don't think they're my thing, so much as the wider brimmed fur felts and straws are. They can look alright, or even cool on the right person, though.

From small acorns...

...GREAT OAKS grow.

It's a beginning to re-popularising the Gent's Fedora

It's a hat, so it's a step in the right direction (although a small one).

Not gonna lie, I've been tempted by some of Goorin's hats, though their sizing isn't really friendly to my head.

Of course, I'm probably one of the younger posters on here as well.

That having been said, my "cheap" hat is still a wool felt hat...which I figure has to be a "step up" from the cloth ones.

I ticked the "Not the nicest things" option. On some, they can look good, but very few somebodies that I see.

They're not to my taste [anymore... I used to wear them] but won't frown on someone who does sport them. To each their own, and if they like it, that's all that counts, really.

[jbucklin]

I have a few of them---thought about giving them away or selling them, but can't seem to do it. I guess I still kind of like them. [huh]

The more people in hats that aren't caps is good with me.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I try not to think about them.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

I really can't stand these faux-doras.

I guess there is something to be said for hats coming back into style in general, regardless of how it's done. And I'm not usually the person to rain down hate on current styles, because I dress pretty modernly myself.

But there's something about those that hats irk me.

I believe you and Paddy are right. It's a step in the right direction. If I had to guess, most hat wearers in my age group probably started with something along those lines, before they moved up towards what many consider a "proper" hat .

For many I think it's the first step towards a great addiction .

 

[Wolfmanjack]

They're not that bad; kind of cute on a younger person. Far better than the ubiquitous ball cap. Vastly better than a ball cap worn backward or sideways.

 

[Yeps]

I look horrendously silly in them, and I think most other people do too. That said, I have known guys who can rock them (and lots of gals who look great in them), so I am not going to say that they are bad. I agree with the others though, they are hats becoming popular, which is good. If hats become properly popular, someone will eventually start making cheap, but nice, hats.

 

[MisterCairo]

They're like soft drugs. You get hooked, and work up to stronger stuff. Next thing, these guys'll be wearing waistcoats.

A lot of them already are. Now to get them to wear shirts instead of t-shirts under those waistcoats.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I like a real fedora much better, but these make great work hats that it doesn't matter if they meet a demise working outdoors cutting down trees, or other such messy work.

Also, I agree they're a step away from the ball cap, which reigns supreme, especially in my blue-collar world. Which is a good thing.

 

[Dewhurst]

I think they look fine, but are not impressive.

If someone likes them, they should wear them.
