    TIL Fedora is also an hat (not only a Linux distro), and the RedHat logo and name makes sense now.

    Edit apparently the original hat brand stil exists and cost a fuck ton

    I wish fedoras didn’t have the reputation they do. My wife thinks I look sharp in a fedora.

      People don’t think some guy and his wife look like losers when he’s wearing a fedora. People think a single guy in a graphic tee with a fedora looks like a loser. Go dress sharp, the only people whose opinions of your appearance matter seem to like it when you wear one.

        What about a guy in a graphic tee with a fedora with his wife?

                I shared a house with a partner during the pandemic. She was a gusher. So to save having to wash and replace her sheets all the time, she’d lay a dog blanket down any time she was having sex. And we are polyamorous, so she was having a fair amount between me and her two other partners.

          The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.

      I personally wear hats. A fedora is one of them. It can be hard to dress for, but I tend to underdress rather than overdo it because wearing it casually doesn’t make me look like an internet meme. Helps to be a bit older, too.

        I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.

          The trick is what you wear with it. Yeah, if you wear it with an edgy t-shirt, cargo pants, and a trench coat people will think you’re an asshole. If you instead wear it with, for example, a casual button down shirt, sturdy slacks, and in colder weather a light leather jacket, people will think you look like Indiana Jones. I know because that’s how I usually dress and random people compliment me on that. As long as the outfit suits the hat, people will see it in the way you mean it.

          There’s no saving the Trilby hat though, there’s no outfit that makes it work. Edit: I was wrong. Even the Trilby can be cool.

            I wear a trilby and get compliments frequently. People tell me I look like: The Blues Brothers, Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracey, and one guy called me Inspector Clouseau.

              Damn, you’re right. I didn’t think about the Blues Brothers, who do in fact look very cool in trilbys. I guess it just requires the right accompaniment like any hat. I apologize.

              My brother has a bowler. It can look damn stylish with the right clothes, and downright silly with the wrong ones. I can’t wear one though, I look silly in them no matter what I wear it with.

          Wear the fedora, don’t be an asshole, then you’ll change their perception an interaction at a time. Fuck the strangers

            You’re telling me not to be self-conscious in public? You’re almost 47 years too late for that one I’m afraid.

              Groaan, my 17y old sun is currently intentionally growing a mullet.

              Can’t the trauma be enough? I already grew up in the 80s.

          I mostly wear it when it’s hot and sunny. The wide brim is very useful in the sun.

        Whenever I hear the word ‘trilby’ it immediately makes me think of the song Gone to the Dogs by Squeeze because it has the line “in old overcoats and trilby hats.”

          No, but I do appreciate his reviews

          Edit: though it would have been nice to be able to tell my old employer to kick rocks

            I’ve had to stop listening to his review. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m way too impressionable with negative reviews and it turns me away from too many things. I miss it.

            Edit: spelling and grammar
