1957,I'm four in a large department store. One whole wall is covered with 250 fedoras, The sight makes me ill, and I guess this is why- I can't think of any other article of eveyday clothing, other than a felt fedora, that an adult could wear but a youngster couldn't. A kid could wear a suit and a tie and wingtips-but absolutly NEVER a fedora. ADULTS ONLY. Must be over 21. Didn't see too many fedoras in stores after '57, with the youth culture starting to take over, defying Adult Authority, which is what the fedora seemed to represent. Thank you Indy, for restoring unto me, the symbol of manhood that I so feared, yet now am proud to call my own.
