    Hat sightings in Japan

    I think with youngsters, the fedora wearing trend (especially the short brim type) is influenced mainly by american hip-hop culture. I guess this trend is being followed worldwide. It's some kind of pimp-gangsta thing I guess! I actually saw one individual in my own country wearing the 60's...

    Fedoras in JAPAN

    Thanks for the follow-up info on japanese hatters daizawaguy, it's nice to get any information on hat history in asian countries. And Sefton's idea of getting pictures is great also. Perhaps you can find some links to some personal japanese websites/blogs with pictures of fellow Japanese hat...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Just finished watching the first four episodes of 'The Untoucables' season 1TV series. After that I had to watch the Brain De Palma film version again just for kicks. The Ma Barker episode was full of tommy guns and grenades! It was just like watching a b&w version of Combat with suits and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just watched Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious two nights back. It was really hard to get a copy of the DVD, since last I checked, Amazon didn't have it anymore. It was a great watch nonetheless. Still in a noir mode these days since I got my first fedora, so tonight I think I'm gonna watch...

    Any Fedora lovers from Asia?

    Hats in Japan You know, I almost forgot that unlike most Asian countries, Japan already has a hat wearing culture since the Meiji era, am I right daizawaguy? Japan is pretty advanced culturally among asian countries, so you can get away with wearing almost anything you want over there and...
