...The Great British Hat Movement...
Resources
The Fedora Lounge
The Fedora Lounge is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn about fashion from the golden era, especially hats. There's a wealth of knowledge availble from the members and the archives of posts.
The Fedora Chronicles
An "Electronic Speakeasy", for vintage afficionados and fans of everything retro. Much like the Fedora Lounge, you'll find lots of information and friendly advice.
Hat types
A quick run-down of some of the common styles...
Fedoras
Soft felt hat with a wide brim, as seen on everyone from Bogart to Bond. My personal favourite.
Panamas
Panamas are traditional straw hats from Central America, which are styled much like felt fedoras.
Homburgs
Stiff felt hat with a single centre dent in the crown and a brim fixed in a tight upwards curl.
