FEDORA
 |
From Fred Astaire to Bing Cosby, Frank Sinatra, this hat got it's start when it was seen is a play by Sardou called "Fedora". Worn by business men, singers, actors, gangsters, presidents, hunters, and today... teenagers.
|
|
| This hat is making it's comeback as a
popular style today. I may become as popular as it was in
1881.
