Hey now. A hat like that is dependent on context . If you wear it with a suit and tie with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other, well I don't think it would matter how fat/nerdy you are... that's a pretty good look.

Hey holy! Is that true? That's actually kinda interesting, if both Americans and Brits have their own culturally specific "End of the Hat due to Famous Person" myth. It makes the End of the Hat suddenly seem like a huge seismic event that all mankind had to grapple with in their own fashion, like creation myths arising from migrations and whatnot.

Funny you should ask. I don't think it normally is, but the very friend of mine who inspired me to coin the phrase* actually does have one of those. He justifiably gets away with it because it says in bold letters "FUDGE IS MADE." You get the full glory of it when he turns around to face you and you see that under each nipple is tattooed the word "MILK" and tattooed just above his pants line is "LEMONADE." The fact that he still gets it on with the fine ladies in spite of (and in some cases because of) this is what makes him a hobosexual and not just a sad freak.
* - I'm under no illusion that I'm the first person in the world to say this, but I can say in all honesty that I didn't hear or read it anywhere before I started saying it. I consider it mine in that way.

Looking cool like Bogart is a noble undertaking. But in addition to a fedora you need to wear a suit at all times, drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney, date dames that look like Lauren Bacall, and treat wiseguys to chin music regularly. I'm willing to try it mainly for the sake of the Bacall-type dames.

There is nothing wrong with a fedora. It just depends on what else you're wearing. T-shirt and jeans? No. Slacks, nice shirt, and jacket? Probably. Suit? Definitely. Also fedoras go well with trenchcoats/dusters.

I'm steadfast in my belief that one must ask himself only one question when trying to decide whether or not to don a fedora in public - "Am I under forty years of age?" If the answer comes back "yes," one really should reconsider. There are just some styles that you have to earn by staying alive forty years. I have never seen anyone under that age look good in a fedora. I have never seen anyone over that age look bad in one.
