Bob Hudson Posted August 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2021 This Kriegsmarine crew is wearing some sort of wide brim hat, similar to a cowboy hat or British Commonwealth slouch hat. Was this common??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwar Posted August 1, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2021 The look like 'Fedora's " to me, Compared to a cowboy hat, a fedora will have a smaller brim. They also have a stylistic front pinch in the hat, almost like the hat maker pinched his fingers together. Most fedoras also have a wide grosgrain hatband too. It's a wide piece of fabric on the crown, giving it a classic Frank Sinatra look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
