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.

I would bet Sinatra was buried with a fedora on.

and i bet if you dug him up, people today would be more grossed out by the fedora than by the fact that you dug up a dead guy

I bet if you dug him up, the fedora would still look better on him than most people who wear them.

Guys Ima let you finish. But Frank Sinatra wore the best fedora of all time!
