A fedora is a type of hat characterized by its soft brim and indented crown. Typically made from felt, wool, or straw, it features a wide brim that can be snapped down in the front and turned up at the back. Fedoras are often associated with styles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and have been popular in various fashion trends over the years. Originally worn by both men and women, fedoras became particularly popular among men in the early 20th century. They are often linked to classic films and iconic characters, such as Indiana Jones and Frank Sinatra. Today, fedoras are worn as a fashion statement and can be found in various colors and materials.
