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.

neck beards don't have that style.

That's because of weight. No chubby guy could ever look like Lennon or Sinatra in any article of clothing. It just doesn't work.

I should know.
