    Not a pimp, perhaps

    For most men, looking like a pimp while wearing a fedora is out of reach.

    Very few men can wear a fedora. Basically, if you're slim and very handsome you can pull it off, but for most of us... Well, let's just say that the difference between how we'd like to look (or maybe even delude ourselves into thinking we look)...

    Fat idiot

    Why that fat idiot looking stupid in a hat?

    The Bogey pic is OK, youd even get away with it today, (Nice raincoat btw) but the other one is just stupid.

    I take it that The Register does not 'do' taste or style???

    Trilby not Fedora

    I came here to show off my knowledge of hats, but I've been beaten to it no less than three times.
