December to Remember: Dapper Don


Here's a treat for the hep cat in your life! This suave 50's gray felt Fedora from Alley Cats Vintage is sure to top any wish lists this year.

In Hollywood movies of the 1940s, characters often wore a fedora, particularly when playing private detectives, gangsters, or other "tough guy" roles. A trench coat was frequently part of the costume, a notable example being Humphrey Bogart's character in Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon. The fedora is closely associated with film noir characters.
