Fedora

*Tips fedora* Good e'en, m'lady.

The fedora (or brony-burka) is a hat with a small to medium-sized brim and a main section, or crown, that's creased down the middle and pinched at the front. The fedora is the elusive third piece of the three-piece suit.

The fedora was invented in the late 19th century by top headwear scientists to be the undisputed king of all hats. All hats were of lesser status compared to the almighty fedora. However, millions of acne-spotted losers desperately trying to look cool have caused the fedora's untimely death and co-opted it as the official hat of autism.

As such, most fedoras nowadays are from Target or Wal-Mart, made of shit cloth instead of felt, and are only worn by basement dwellers who think that having it perched atop their greasy tangle of nasty-ass hair automatically makes them as cool as everyone in the following list.

Everybody in Cinderella Man (despite the title)
Everybody in TF2
Indiana Jones

The Fedora Today[edit]

Alternative uses for fedoras.

Even in a video game, Vito Corleone rocks a fedora better than you.

The fedora was hunted nearly to extinction at least 100 years ago when they invented dumbass little round hats around the 1940s and then later baseball caps. Now fedoras are found primarily on urban-type hipster assholes who aren't worthy of wearing the apex of hat technology. If you wear a fedora today, prepare to be laughed at. Instead, look up the wide variety of other hats one can still wear, and get one online.

The Evolution Of A Faggot In A Fedora[edit]

Get bullied all through school for being a nerd.
Decide to take cool and own it.
Purchase a fedora - an item which is considered a physical embodiment of cool.
Abandon all other aspects of cool, such as physique, personality, clothing and style.
Ride that one cool item you possess towards your hopes and dreams of coolness.
Look like a spastic.

Keep in mind you can add to the look with fingerless gloves, a horrible neckbeard that looks like dead spiders, and a retro t-shirt.

Identifying a fedora-wearer on the internet[edit]

Maximum autism unlocked.

*Tips for dora*.

Despite the general anonymity provided by the world-wide-web, there are several methods that can be used to track down and properly classify a fedora-wearing faggot.

The first step in identifying a fedora-wearer is knowing where they spend their time online. Because fedora users tend to travel in large packs, they are easiest to spot in the following locations:

/v/
Reddit
TV Tropes
Goons
Any brony-related community
Atheism
Any "geek" apparel related website
Freenode
Libertarian
Possibly tumblr (but only to masturbate to images of scene girls)
Anti-GamerGate/SJW/castrated faggots.
Pro-GamerGate/MRA/embittered permavirgins.

The next step in the identification process is possibly the most important: their tastes in media. Those who wear fedoras often accredit themselves as having a highly developed taste for the arts. This is not true.

Entry-level cinema is a particular favorite of fedorafags; if the suspect mentions any of the following as being a "monumental", "groundbreaking", "creative", or simply "good" film, there is a high likelihood they were wearing a fedora while doing so:

Fight Club
Taxi Driver
Donnie Darko
Any Lord of the Rings movie
Any Quentin Tarantino movie
Watchmen
The Cornetto Trilogy
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Scott Pilgrim
Any post-1960's Stanley Kubrick movie
The Matrix
Any Christopher Nolan movie

If the suspect's preference for film cannot be obtained (which is unlikely since fedorafags love to share their "excellent" taste in movies they perceive as being "deep"), there is also a chance they will at one point share their shit taste in music. The artists enjoyed by fedora-wearers are just as generic as the films they watch, and include but are not limited to:

Queen
The Beatles
Caravan Palace
Any heavy metal band, especially 80s thrash
Post-1972 Pink Floyd
The soundtrack to L.A. Noire or Fallout
Any pre-2013 Mario & Luigi soundtrack

There is also a slim chance the person in question may try to brandish the fantastic taste they have in literature as well. It should be noted that the only novels fedorafags have read are those they were forced to in high school; nevertheless, they often praise such juvenile works as:

A Catcher in the Rye
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Infinite Jest
To Kill a Mockingbird
Anything by Edgar Allen Poe
Anything by Stephen King
Anything by Ayn Rand

The fedora in its natural habitat: The 1930s

Very few men can get it right.

Fedorafags like to think of themselves as funny, incredibly witty characters who have such a sophisticated sense of humor that whenever they make a joke and receive only stony silence/contemptuous looks from everyone around them, it's only because A) they're too dumb to grasp the complex subtleties of the joke, or B) they're so shocked by the totally edgy, uncompromisingly retarded in-your-face humor that their little sheeple lives have been thrown into complete disarray. Fedora-wearers' humor is inspired by, but not limited to, the following comedians:

Doug Stanhope
Bill Hicks
Dennis Leary
Ricky Gervais
Penn and Teller
Charlie Brooker
Anyone on TGWTG

When it comes to fedora faggots, they're political views will most likely be libertarian, and another chance is that they might be avid Ron Paul supporters.

Scientology[edit]

It's like a bat signal to home in little boys.

Moar info: The Marcab Confederacy.

I can haz style too?

Apparently L. Ron Hubbard thinks fedora hats are an evil from a past alien civilization, and Scientologists are forbidden to wear them. Of course, there is a picture of L. Ron from before he started Scientology wearing a fedora, but they like to keep that hidden.

The Fedora as Softwarez[edit]

You can plug your hat into the Matrix and many lulz will ensue; doing this also has the benefit of providing a permanent +6 charisma enchantment to your fedora, and adds the "Jaunty" and "Rakish" commands to its setlist.

No, Srsly: The Fedora as Softwarez[edit]

Faildora is an RPM-based Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. The name derives from Red Hat's characteristic fedora used in its "Shadowman" logo. However, the Faildora community project had existed as a volunteer group providing extra software for the Red Hat Linux distribution before Red Hat got involved as a direct sponsor. Faildora is the pseudo l337 bleeding-edge piece of shit from RedHat used by geeks to satisfy their masochistic needs.

Vs. The Trilby[edit]

Results of a Google image-search for "Trilby" yields Fedoras. Google is Truth.

Trilby, the protagonist of the "X Days a Something" games, seen in his signature gray suit and a ~~Fedora~~ ~~Trilby hat~~ Fedora.

There is virtually no difference between Fedoras and Trilbies, but the dastardly Jew cabal that pulls the strings of Wikipedia and the world at large would have you believe otherwise. According to Wikipedia a Trilby is "a soft felt men's hat with a narrow brim and a deeply indented crown." while a Fedora is described as "a soft felt hat that is creased lengthwise down the crown and pinched in the front on both sides." Wut. I think a Trilby might be a tiny bit narrower than a Fedora, but beyond that it's the same hat. I will kill myself if you can prove the two styles of the hat are significantly different, but you can't, so I wont. Actually, trilbies have a curve in the back of the hat while fedoras are straight in the back of the hat.

The Trilby is not to be confused with Trilby, the dashing gentleman-thief from those spiffy point-and-click Adventure games made by Yahtzee Croshaw, that guy who talks really fast about crummy videogames. Unlike the Angry Video Game Nerd, Yahtzee Croshaw covers more recent crummy games and wears a Fedora/Trilby IRL.

The Female Fedora[edit]

The equivalent of the male feminist white knight or MRA (or female "anti-feminist" in rare cases like Dumblr Feminist). Fedora is the strictly feminist female's unnaturally colored hair.
Popular in SJW circles, it's a fashion statement made by such people as Zoe Quinn, Big Red, and Randi Harper. 99.9% of the time, this is also accentuated by short cuts and hair styles due to the irony that long hair is more feminine and less "tough" than SJWs desire to be, but paradoxes them by only communicating that they all want to be dikes and dickgirls because real feminism isn't tough enough.
The Feminist hair is often combined with the "Problem Glasses."
