I love your explanation of the 1930’s styles of men’s hats, and how they differ from today. I’m writing a novel set in the ’30 and understanding the hats was very important to me. I’m bought a Homburg locally, and I love the ideas of wearing hats. I got the hat to do a video “interview” of my characters. I want to get a Trilby or a more formal Fedora next, as true to the ’30’s style as possible. Any suggestions? Also, what kind of hat did Clark Kent wear in in the 50’s Adventures of Superman TV series? I haven’t seen one quite like it?
A good hat is the 1930s Bollman Collection Trilby . Its a replica from the 30s so you know its the right shape. Not the highest quality out there but very good for most casual uses.
Clark Kent wore a pinch front C crown Fedora with turn down brim. Bailey of Hollywood Curtis 7005 is a good one and comes in many colors. Clark’s seemed to be extra pinched, which is something you can do yourself with a steamer and a light clamp (or take it to a hatter for shaping.) more 50s hats here: https://vintagedancer.com/1950s/1950s-mens-hats/ Best wishes with your novel!
