Reminded me of this, my mother and her father. I’m guessing it was taken in around 1928. He died in 1939 when mom was 16.

Back in the day, Every American Male knew how to sport a fedora!
nowadays the hipsters wear them about 4 sizes too small, it's a wonderful look...
I guess that a Trilby in today’s world is really a Fauxdora.
More often than not, they seem to function mostly as a D'bag Early Warning System.
I'm glad I never saw that!
I’m sorry I saw the pic.
We had family that made the veggie jello thing... cauliflower, assorted greens, carrots and such... and bring it to gatherings. 
The fruit one...
Heck ya!

Some of us still do!
I have three felt fedoras and three straw fedoras.
Anyone remember the Simpsons’ episode where Bart becomes a hipster “tagger/artist”? For his show there were two entrances, one for “ironic hats” and one for “sincere hats”.
I must admit, I just despise the Trilby or “stingy brim” fedora. They are always on the head of a wise-ass in the movies. The minuscule brim just looks dopey to me. But to each his own, eh?
Asbestos was once marketed as artificial snow and sprinkled on trees and wreaths and ornaments. Although those products have not been produced for many years, the oldest decorations that were passed down from one generation to the next, may still have small amounts of asbestos.
The most famous asbestos snow scene was used during the filming of “The Wizard of Oz,” the 1939 classic with Judy Garland that became the most watched film in history. There is a scene in the movie where snow, made from asbestos, falls on Dorothy and her friends, awakening them from a spell cast by the Wicked Witch of the West.

The true fedora is the perfect compromise between the trilby and the "gangsta brim." Here's a pic of my niece in the '90s wearing my oldest brother's '70s gangsta brim:
