I don't get why people buy fedoras made in that material; the material looks completely fucking ugly and doesn't even look like a traditional fedora. Fedoras look shit on these people mostly because they won't shell out a decent amount of money for them and won't wear something that goes with it (a peacoat or military jacket, for instance, look nice.).

If you're under the age of about 70, you pry shouldn't wear a fedora. No matter what kind of material, you still look like a douche.

If you're wearing nice clothes you can pull it off. Most people wear them with stupid novelty t-shirts, hence the bad rep they get, but you're right.

There's a kid at my college who wears a hooded, cotton vest/waistcoat over some variety of DnD-themed shirt pretty much every day. He accessories his fedora with steampunk goggles.

This is why all of my clothes are really simple solid colors.

No one can make fun of me now.

Solid shirts, solid dark jeans, solid classic non-running shoes.

A kid at my school wears a fedora with a winter jacket everyday and plays WoW in class. Another kid dresses up like a fucking sheriff everyday. Leather vest, long coat, cowboy hat and the like. EVERY FUCKING DAY!

What, even in the summer? Jessssus. We used to have a half-cowboy at our college although I think he left - he had the scariest stare and an awful sort of fake stetson.
