Men have always worn hats of some kind, especially the ball cap, whether worn for work or pleasure, with the bill straight on, to the side or backwards. Ball caps have been worn for practical reasons or to follow fashion trends - like emulating the NASCAR drivers or going out to the ball game!
The fedora hat style is the really hot trend this season! It has an edgy downtown look that can add flair to a man's outfit. Just look at my grandpa!
Traditionally, a fedora was made of felt, creased lengthwise down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides. We have seen them worn by gangsters and the 'mafia,' as dress hats in the 40’s and 50’s, and now today. Fedoras can be found in nearly any color imaginable, but black, grey, tan, and brown are the most popular. I think The Biscuit would look great in a red one!
Some of the new fedora-styled hats have smaller brims, still made from fur felt. The fine Italian fedoras are as soft as velvet, and the Australian bush styles are waterproof. Guys, you can wear it tipped back on your head so it gives you a devil-may-care, or a breezy, nonchalant feel. Or tip it forward, like my grandpa, to create a dashing look, a confident and sexy air! The Biscuit just has to get one!
Whether you are a businessman, a musician, a celebrity or the casual man on the street, these hats are hot!
