Mostly because insecure man-children saw those images and thought that it was solely the hat that made them such icons of masculinity, and that if they got a fedora of there very own it would override their insecurity, lack of grace and charm and transform them into Indiana Jones or Philip Marlowe.

I think that MAYBE one in a hundred thousand can rock the fedora. Those few and far between that can do so because they ARE dapper and bon-vivant. The VAST majority are wannabes.

Hey Seq, I know Zoey is knitting you a hat, but perhaps she should knit you a fedora instead, lol.

Don't give her any ideas, she might actually do that. Please Dayvan, if you see this, please don't knit me a fedora, I want something I can actually wear.

It ain't the hat, it's the wearer. Some guys have enough fashion sense to know the right size & style of fedora to wear and the proper clothing to wear with it. Other guys just wind up looking like clueless hipster dorks.

But David Thomas is a seventy(or something)-year old weirdo who wears a hat because he's in Pere Ubu and people in Pere Ubu just do goofy ****. Anyone under the age of thirty (or something) who's wearing them nowadays is a douchebag regardless of whether or not they can actually rock it.
