Trilby or Fedora

I decided to write a blog to try and explain the difference between a Trilby and a Fedora. Well. When I went in search of an expert definition I found a complete minefield of opinion. And a lot of it quite aggressive. It reminded me of the time I joined the ‘save the apostrophe’ facebook page, thinking it would be interesting. If you enjoy reading heated arguments unfolding, that’s definitely the page for you. It was all so serious, and angry, that the novelty of ‘fight, fight, fight’ soon wore off for me.

Anyway back to the hats! I believe that hat-wearing ought to be fun and the Hat Police (like the Apostrophe Police) don’t seem to get this. If you like wearing a particular type of hat and it makes you feel good, then I think it’s serving its purpose. Is the rigidity in the name of it really that important?

Here are some pics of both types of hats for you to enjoy looking at. I’m a huge fan of both, and they’re my favourite type to wear. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on all of this.
