Oh, don't get me started on fedoras. Fur felt and stingy brim; fedoras in wool felt blends and crushable, rollable hats that travel well. I could go on forever. (Okay, then, I will -- and thanks for asking.) If you haven't experienced the thrill of a Makins topper on your pate, like their slate velour hand-blocked fedora, The Horace, or tried on the new Stetson Tehachapi Fedora, with its suede finish, bound edge and trim with contrast over-stitching, you have been cruelly denied some life enhancing moments. The fedora shape (as all fedora aficionados know) is flattering to both men and women of any age, and celebrities are seen in them constantly. Lady fedora fans include Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Keira Knightly and Kate Moss, among others, while you'll see men in hats like Criss Angel, Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher, Donell Jones, and Mr. Johnny Depp, of course. Forget them -- here's betting you can be the first to own The Ghurka Fedora from Stetson, made from a unique blend of genuine kangaroo fur and wool felt.
