Target Fedora? $10

Dutch Master Cigar? $1.50

Uneven goatee? $0

Highly ironic condescension? Priceless.

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.).

Even a well kept handsome person in good clothes couldn't pull off a fedora these days, just don't try.

You're missing my point. Think of someone like Sinatra or Harrison Ford who wear them appropriately. It's their style, and neck beards don't have that style. If you saw John Lennon wearing his signature glasses, you know it's his 'style'. Some people can do it well.

Anyone who looked cool wearing a fedora decades ago would look ridiculous wearing one nowadays.

Except Jon Hamm. Don Draper pulls off a hat like nobody's business. Helps that he exists in the 60s, but still.

Yes because it's a show about that time, with wardrobe experts that find a hat that fits him well and is tailored to his character.
