A few points:

1. I love watching those old clips of baseball games before 1965...the stands are full of well-dressed guys all wearing Fedoras.

2. Can't stand the God-awfull Gen X look of a stupid baseball cap worn at all times of the day....worn backwards makes me even madder!

3. Nothing tops off a Mob-style gangland hit quite like a dark grey Fedora and a big fat stogie....(and don't forget your Tommy Gun!)

: hey gang,
: Just a question here, how many of you have considered actually
: rounding out your fedora collection to include other colors? Anyone here aside from me wear them with regularity to work or social gatherings? Not just the rusty brown of Indy's fedora, but grey (which Indy also wore) black, tan, etc.?
: You'd be surprised how it finishes a business suit or a casual Fridays ansemble.
: Am I alone in this desire to bring back hat wearing as a standard of fashion?
: Or are we all concerned that while being confused for Indiana Jones at a distance might be fun, being confused with Sam Spade, Dick Tracy and Elliot Ness might be unpleasant?
