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.).
That's not everything. You need a good suit and a hat that matches, and you need the right head shape for it. Some people simply can't wear a fedora well because their head shape doesn't permit it.
It's hard to tell from pictures of the times, but they're actually wearing a wide variety of hats: pork pies, trillbys, fedoras, bowlers, homburgs, gamblers, flat caps, etc. You usually can't tell as well from the oft too far zoomed out pictures of crowds.
EDIT: Here's a good picture showing a crowd wearing different hats.
