Hats are the signature piece! They make a statement like
no other individual accessory. And they do it with such
panache. The Fedora is one of he most popular hats
of all times. It is a hat that was made popular by Hollywood
detectives and gangsters. And here I thought my grandpa made the
tear drop straw fedora with the black band famous!
Ironically a fedora was originally a women's fashion into the 20th
century, the fedora came into use in about 1920, as a men's
upper-class clothing accessory. Its popularity soared, and
eventually it eclipsed the similar-looking Homburg A homburg is a
stiff felt hat characterized by a single dent running down the
center of the crown and a brim fixed in a tight, upwards curl. It
is superficially similar to the trilby or Fedora ; trilbys and
fedoras, however, have soft, "snappable" brims and can have various
designs "pinched" into the crown, whereas the shape of a homburg
is... by the 1930s. Fedoras are created in nearly every color
imaginable, but black, grey, tan, brown, and red remain the most
popular. The rich and famous made Fedora’s a symbol of money and
power.
A fedora is a soft felt hat A hat is a headcovering. It may be worn
for protection against the elements, for religious reasons, for
safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an
indicator of social status.... that is creased lengthwise
down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides. They usually
form a crown indentation on top. The brim goes all the way around,
and often sports a hat band as well. A trilby A trilby hat is a
soft felt men's hat with a narrow brim, a deeply indented crown,
and a pinch at the front. Traditionally it was made from rabbit
hair felt, but is now sometimes made from other materials,
including tweed and wool.... hat is somewhat similar to a
fedora, but typically has a shorter brim, and the back of the brim
is distinctively more sharply upturned as a result.
Today the fedora is equally popular with men and women and looks
equally adorable on both. Be it the fedora or any other head
covering we need to be focused the one thing we, the believer wear
on our heads is the helmet of salvation—the same life giving
salvation that was bought at the ultimate price of the blood of the
King of Glory. Wear it well.
