Fedoras come in a wide range of shapes, brim lengths and crown heights and come shaped in leather, fur, cloth, or wool. The fedora is considered a “dress hat” as it complements a suit or overcoat very nicely. They have been historically connected with the gangsters of the prohibition era of America. This historic generalization is a misrepresentation because every gentleman who could afford a hat in that era had a hat, or in some cases, several of them.

At Heimie’s Haberdashery, the fedora is held in high regard and will be recommended to anyone new to hat wearing.
