Fedorable?
Evidently, the fedora is back. A favorite of celebs like Britney Spears, Johnny Depp, and Al Capone, the fedora seems to be crowning the crowns of male and female alike. (Oddly enough, however, I’ve seen neither hide nor hair of the topper in Chicago—the home of the original stylish gangster).
Maybe it’s the resurgence of Indiana Jones that has brought about this top shelf trend, or maybe the parade of mitzvah tanks rolling through the avenues has had some kind of subliminal effect on the masses. After all, Orthodox Jews were rocking the fedora long before Britney needed one to cover her cueball.

You haven’t seen a fedora in Chicago? Have you ever spent time Rogers Park?

I have indeed spent time in Rogers Park— not in recent days though. However, I actually saw a fedora disappearing into the El tunnels today in the Loop, so maybe the trend is traveling.

Hey, that’s me! And while I may not be in Chicago, I am a nice, Jewish girl and finding this kinda made my night. I snatched this hat from the back seat of a retro-minded friend’s car on the way out for cocktails. Sure, it’s a little big, but I thought I looked hella cute. It doesn’t really suit my general style, but I’d snatch it again.
