    Please get the hat and wear it every where you go. Im sure there are a lot of people out there that will see it and have a good laugh. Everyone needs a good laugh once in a while.

    Hat experts? Valve.

    I kid, I kid. If you buy a hat like that and wear it with anything short of some sort of vintage suit, it's going to look horrible.

    I'm fairly sure that's a trilby hat.

    Lets put all the neckbro and hipster hate aside for a minute. I too think they look nice, objectively speaking that is. But dude, seriously, don't wear that. There are two types of people who can get away with wearing it; Actors in gangster movies and old men in their 80's. If you are neither you might want to reconsider wearing this hat. No hate, just facts.

    Brim is too wide for a trilby, and not angled correctly.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    It's a fedora with a mildly curled brim and an added feather. Looks like this to me:



    The site I took that from identified it as, "In the US it would be considered a Fedora - Alpine in that time period. The brim is soft but curled with a shorter tapered crown."

    Yes, and if you look closely, the linked hat does too.

    Hmm.. that does look the most similar, thanks!



    And to all the people out there, I understand you think it looks stupid as hell, trust me i do. yet again, I've been wearing these kind of things for quite a while now, and had no problem... and I'm in high school

    Yeah, it's really up to you what you want to wear dude, just be aware that people outside of that very niche "culture" is going to negatively judge you for it.

    Personally, if I saw someone wearing that I'd think it was either a sad way to seek attention, or someone trying way too hard to fit into a subculture. It's not meant as a personal attack, but knowing what signals you give off to those around you can be important...

    Burn that hat with fire, then take the ashes and mix them with holy water and then pour it down the deepest well you can find.

    No one below the age of 70 can pull off that hat anymore. Unless you have a time machine to the 1920's, in which case by all means.
