Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What Happened to the Fedora?

I wear a sort of fedora all the time. I've had several per-cancerus growths removed from my ears and I want to protect them as much as possible.

It has not gone anywhere (atleast with me).... I am 44 and wear a fedora. Not every day but if it is raining or cold I wear one... When you have a head that is as gorgeous as my bald head, you protect it.

I have several fedoras, a couple of trilbys, an aussie hat, and a few more whose exact style name I can't recall. Here are a couple of the fedoras, two cowboy hats and a "Greg Norman" gold hat.



BTW, what those modern young snots are wearing are NOT fedoras, those are trilbys. Different brim and different crown than a fedora.

Not gone any where with me either. I wear a felt fedora in the winter and a pamana straw fedora in the summer when I am slightly dressed up. Work hat is a Dorfman Pacific wide brim. Casual hat is a Tilley. Caps only in the winter. I have had enough knots burned off the tops of my ears from sun cancers to go without a brimmed hat anymore.

I have an oil skin Aussie hat; best rain hat in existence. It�s been crushed a couple of times, I�d really like to find a way to un-crush it, and get it to stand up right.

Kevin, my guess is that it's actually a waxed hat, similar to British waxed raincoats.

Yeah I'm sure it is, but back when I bought it they called it oil-skin.

I own Fedora's and were them frequently.

Ball caps are for working outside in.

I think the modern automobile killed them off.

No headroom, have to take the hat off in the vehicle.

Not in my Durango.

(Note to self: Be sure to wear real hat when test-driving potential new truck.)

My Dad always wore a Fedora with a suit but my head sweats too much for one. I wear a open weave straw type hat in the summer and a summer baseball cap in the winter. The only exception is when I am sitting on a deer stand and not moving, then I want something warmer. When I start walking, I take it off. miles

Bite me!!!!

The fedora was a huge part of my childhood. I must have watched this movie 500 times. Whenever I see a fedora the theme music for Indiana Jones starts playing in my head!

The lezbo's or the 14 year olds?

Tanner, when I wear a hat in cooler weather it is a fur felt Akubra, I guess I'm a lesbian. You need to get out of the house more often .

People dress like slobs, mostly, these days

And on the other side of the coin, if you change the l to an n, you have many of the others.

I have a Fedora 560 TD with both #63&72# sets of limbs. Sweet shooter but @60" requires a little extra limb clearance in a treestand, been back to my Bob Lee for that now though.Grin.

My granddad wore one a lot. When he passed in 1972, Grandma kept it in the backseat of her car to let people think there was still a man in her life.....I still have the hat...great memories involved.
