Looking for a non-discord mod looking fedora.

How a hat should fit (with Stephen Temkin fedora)
Every man thinks hats don't suit him. Yet every man, of every shape and size, used to wear a hat - and they looked good. Conclusion: men don't know how to pick a hat. I know I've run through that before, but it bears repeating in the name of re-popularising the hat.Hats are...
