Irony has seeped into the felt of any fedora hat I have ever owned - not out of any wish of mine, but out of necessity. A fedora hat worn by me without the necessary protective irony would eat through my head and kill me.

WHAT DOES FEDORA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fedora

Fedora

A fedora /fɨˈdɔərə/ is a felt hat. The hat is typically creased lengthwise down the crown and "pinched" near the front on both sides. Fedoras can also be creased with teardrop crowns, diamond crowns, center dents, and others, and the positioning of pinches can vary. The typical crown height is 4.5 inches. The brim is usually approximately 2.5 inches wide, but may be wider, can be left "raw edged", finished with a sewn overwelt or underwelt, or bound with a trim-ribbon. The term fedora was in use as early as 1891. Its popularity soared, and eventually it eclipsed the similar-looking homburg. Fedoras can be found in nearly any color, but black, grey, tan, and dark brown are the most popular. Some fedoras have no crease and are also referred to as bucket style hats.

Chance The Rapper
One of the first times I ever performed in front of a big group of people was at my kindergarten graduation. I did, like, a Michael Jackson impersonation as, like, a five year old. I had the suit and blazer, the glove and the fedora, and I just performed a whole Michael Jackson song. I'm sure it was 'Smooth Criminal.'
