Faith in fedoras

"Remember when women would get a new hat for Easter? Probably not, as the practice of donning a new bonnet every spring roughly fell out of favour around the same time Irving Berlin songs did.

In general, neither women nor men wear hats as much as they used to, but don’t tell that to Stephen Temkin, who is devoting a lot of time and talent to reviving chapeau culture – specifically men’s fedoras."
What self-respecting man doesn't love a good fedora? I always have, and if the ascendancy of Mad Men has taught us nothing, maybe the rest of the country likes them more than they ever thought.
