1920s Bollman Collection Fedora

The 'Roaring Twenties', as the decade is affectionately dubbed, saw an explosion of rich cultural activity, brought on by unprecedented economic prosperity. Gangsters, flappers, speakeasies, jazz and the Charleston were sweeping the nation. Fashion likewise grew by leaps and bounds during this time, as the public became less inhibited by prior social standards. The term Fedora was in use as early as 1891 but the style really took off in the Twenties, topping off men's fashion during a golden age. The Fedora featured a pinched crown with the brim turned down in the front and up in the back. The Bollman Hat Company produced mass quantities of fedoras and truly captured the exuberance of America at the time. This hat comes in a special edition Bollman Heritage Hat Box.
