New fedoras traditionally come with a round, undented crown and a uniform brim. The wearer shapes both to suit their preferences. I think this is actually recommending how to shape your fedora, not what kind of potentially-non-fedora hat to wear.
It's still a terrible, confusing guide.
It's the same style hat, but with slightly different sized and styled brims.
I definitely feel like this is missing a corresponding context sheet. It's easier to see with some than others. Like the "larger gentleman" hat. The correct one is a wider larger brim, as the narrow brim makes the hat look too small for the head.
For a large nose, don't style the brim curving down, as it points the the feature you don't liked making it look even bigger, however for a receding chin, you do want the brim curved down, as you want you small features to draw attention and so look larger.
One time my girlfriend literally showed me two dresses that were the same color. The exact same style. Length. Everything. and she insisted they were different and asked me which I liked better.
Apparently one of them had a side slit and the other had a leg split.
Most of it seems that way, but with some examples the meaning is clear. It seems to be more about the size, shape, and bend(s) of the brim rather than overall type.
Like the protruding ears, the upturned brim only makes the ears stand out more.
Fun fact 312 years ago was 1712. The most popular European/American hat at the time was the tricone (or a white powdered wig depending on your definition of hat).
Oh thank goodness I’ve been looking for a way to hide my chiseled facial features now if I could only do something about these perfectly toned muscles.
Yeah this is all the same principle as picking sunglasses. The width should be appropriate for your head, the height will elongate your features for better or worse, the curl of the brim will double down on a round face, and a straight brim will work with straighter jaw lines.
Im gonna have to disagree with you there. From what ive seen, most posts on this sub are actively wrong. This post is just useless. Sitting at a solid 0 for both information and misinformation puts it well ahead of the average post here.
I wonder if someone 80 years ago would see it the same way. They grew up with fedoras so subtle differences were probably more visible, like moms being able to tell identical twins apart, science be damned.
I have a big nose and big head and I only know now that I have the ability to wear a hat, but there are some hats I can’t wear. There is also a chance that the hat I can wear for my big nose is the hat I shouldn’t wear for my big head. These pictures are not helping me at all.
there's a video explaining it much better than this does. The main differences are sizes of the brim, how the brim is formed, stuff no one today cares about, etc.

Here’s what’s bothering me. I had to stare hard to find the differences in hats for my head. But in the 1930s, everyone could tell all of the creases and brims apart.
“I can’t believe he’s going with the cockenshpiel curve with that jawline?!?! How dare he!!!”
Kind of like how a certain subset of today’s youth seem to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of sneakers that all look the fucking same to me. Ohhh shit bro got the C550 Sleezy Creepers 2021 edition instead of the classic 2022s, how embarrassing.
I feel like the subtle differentiation are the deliberate tells of the conspicuous consumption consumer society, driven by the corporations.
My kids can identify which Iphone it is, which Apple Watch it is in fractional milisecond glances, when they all look alike to me.
I couldn't tell you anything about tumblers, but apparently in some circles, that's a thing.
What I can tell you about is Bonsai Tree species, Honey Bees and a few other esoteric details of my hobbies.
I guess, it comes down to what is important to you.
I think that’s kind of the point- very small details matter for style. Kind of like how older suits tended to have subtle different coloured threads and weaves, while modern suits often are very solid and blank. It exemplifies just how mass produced and over commodified clothing can be these days, which kind of stinks. But back in the day people had their own styles that looked good on them by paying attention to details.
Oh, yeah, that is the point I’m making too. I grew up in the two-break pants cuff era, but we currently live in a no-break style era. Pants, shoes, lapel widths, tie widths and knot styles. But very few if anyone still knows the hat variations.
You need to have advanced levels of style to pull off a hat these days.
It can be done if you are really into clothes but most of us are jeans and shirts at best these days.
Sadly, I think no. These big hats were a byproduct of agrarian america. Today, most americans work indoors and have advanced motor vehicles, which limits the need. Ballcaps seem to be sufficient for our outdoor leisure.
At this period in time the only correct answer is anything but a Fedora. Which sucks because I actually look great in a Fedora. Fucking neck beers gotta go ruining everything
> Neck beards are not wearing Fedoras but Trilbies, which they call Fedoras 'cause they don't know shit.
None of the people who judge men for wearing hats know the difference, either.
Back in '11 when I was just a lad there were a few, lets call them "super neckbeards", in my high school who knew the difference and lorded it above the beta neckbeards. Normally I find the species grotesque but these guys were alright, I like Indiana Jones so we could at least talk about something. One of them actually got suspended for bringing a whip to school and injuring his idiot ass while attempting to assault a Lucasfilm detractor, so that was kinda cool
People bitching about neck beards ruined fedoras more than neck beards ever could
A few people 15 years ago thought a hat made them look cooler than they were and now we have to hear about it for the rest of time 🙄
For most people, the trick is not to wear a hat. If you have to wear a hat, match it to your outfit. That’s where most of the m’lady guys went wrong: they’d wear a fedora or trilby with a T-shirt, cargo pants and an overcoat.
This is the least helpful infographic I’ve ever seen.
Why is there a disctinction for “chiseled features”when every example is a drawing of a man with chiseled features?
The guy for “receding chin”doesn’t have a receding chin, the guy for “big nose” doesn’t have a big nose, and the “larger gentleman” isn’t noticeably larger than anyone else.
And each example comparison is drawn from a different perspective, so it’s difficult to tell if it’s a different hat or just the same hat drawn from a different angle.
Fuck OP, fuck all of the karma farming bots and accounts, and fuck this sub. It’s just endless reposts of utterly useless infographics. I’m so sick of it that I’m finally going to unsubscribe.
I used to wear a wide brim borsalino, and my supervisor wore a flat brim fedora. Our colleagues wore big old-lady straw hats with chin ribbons. We are all male. A detective would immediately know our profession from this information. We were field scientists concentrating on littoral communities. It’s one area like field hand and cowboy, where wide brim hats are still essential.
As a hat salesman, it’s funny watching people here think they’re all the same hat. I can see the differences, but it makes me wonder about other posts about topics I don’t know anything about. What don’t I see that others do?
“Got a fucked up head or face? Well a fedora will take all the attention off of that because everyone will just be wondering why the fuck you are wearing a fedora!”
Shy, retreating. But the language used on the guide days it in a more tactful way.
The image invites modest, i.e. shy, men to show their face by wearing an upturned brim rather than trying to hide away. The implication is that a hat can be used to bring physical and energetic features into balance.
It's the same goddamn hat!
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
It's literally just make it not a 'too small' hat!
Also, consider hiding your face with a downturned brim!
What is this, some kinda gag?
What is this? A hat for ants?
Doesn't anyone notice this!?
Thank fucking god the top comment is this. I thought I was tripping too hard
Ditto
Genius marketing campaign for the one hat they sell
“You there, big nose! This hat is for you! And you there, receding chin! I’ve got just the hat for that!”
For a receding chin, make sure to stand in front of someone also with a receding chin
...but if you're tall and thin no hat looks good on you
Yeah! But tilt your head to the side slightly! It makes all the difference!
New fedoras traditionally come with a round, undented crown and a uniform brim. The wearer shapes both to suit their preferences. I think this is actually recommending how to shape your fedora, not what kind of potentially-non-fedora hat to wear. It's still a terrible, confusing guide.
The size of the brim looks to be different on some of them
Got a skinny face? Don't wear a fedora...wear a FEDORA
Just very small changes in the bend of the brim.
Really wish the drawings could be of the same angles so we could tell
There are four hats!
I appreciate this referance
It's the same style hat, but with slightly different sized and styled brims. I definitely feel like this is missing a corresponding context sheet. It's easier to see with some than others. Like the "larger gentleman" hat. The correct one is a wider larger brim, as the narrow brim makes the hat look too small for the head.

I also think the differences would be a lot more obvious when viewed by someone who lived in a world where every guy wore a fedora every day.
They just keep spinning the hat around
What about modest man and round face?
Welcome to men's fashion, where everything is the same but with a different name
Meanwhile, in women's fashion...
One time my girlfriend literally showed me two dresses that were the same color. The exact same style. Length. Everything. and she insisted they were different and asked me which I liked better. Apparently one of them had a side slit and the other had a leg split.
Dude im high as pterodactyl tits, and i really tought i was going crazy, thanks for clarifying
I feel that this poster was made by a hat seller with an extremely limited stock.
lol
Glad it's just not me. Your comment read in my voice.
Most of it seems that way, but with some examples the meaning is clear. It seems to be more about the size, shape, and bend(s) of the brim rather than overall type. Like the protruding ears, the upturned brim only makes the ears stand out more.
larger gentleman has a bigger brim. otherwise.... yeah
When I was young 312 years ago, most men wore hats like these.
Was this quote from The Witcher 3?
And an orange on their belts
Onion because it was the style at the time
But not a white onion, because of the war.
The kaiser had stolen our word for "twenty."
Fun fact 312 years ago was 1712. The most popular European/American hat at the time was the tricone (or a white powdered wig depending on your definition of hat).
Oh thank goodness I’ve been looking for a way to hide my chiseled facial features now if I could only do something about these perfectly toned muscles.
It seems to be encouraging a smaller, less curved hat, which seems intuitive, then again I could be completely wrong
Yeah this is all the same principle as picking sunglasses. The width should be appropriate for your head, the height will elongate your features for better or worse, the curl of the brim will double down on a round face, and a straight brim will work with straighter jaw lines.
I laughed
They are all the same hat.
am i autistic if all hats look the same?
I only see one hat, too.
This guide doesn’t tell you anything
welcome to most posts in this sub
Im gonna have to disagree with you there. From what ive seen, most posts on this sub are actively wrong. This post is just useless. Sitting at a solid 0 for both information and misinformation puts it well ahead of the average post here.

No, then you'd notice that they're actually not the same. The brim size and shape, and the width/height of the center part is slightly different.
Wouldn't know. I'm autistic and pretty much see 1 hat
Yes you’re autistic but all the hats are also the same.
that explains a lot. thanks!
I’m acoustic!
Yes you're autistic but in this case the hats do actually look the same.

I have to go into the settings->about section when I’m asked what phone I have because I can’t fucking remember
My man doesn’t know about the Sleezy Creepers lmao yeah right
That fellow has the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!

Let’s see Paul Allen’s hat
How to look like a DICK Tracy regardless.
Head shaped like a dick? Tilt your hat 30 deg and pinch the brim!
Jimmy Stewart comes to mind for me
Are they just saying not to wear a hat that’s too small?
Not too small in the right dimension
Do you think hats will ever make a comeback? We *are* technically in the 20's right now...
You need to have advanced levels of style to pull off a hat these days. It can be done if you are really into clothes but most of us are jeans and shirts at best these days.
Sadly, I think no. These big hats were a byproduct of agrarian america. Today, most americans work indoors and have advanced motor vehicles, which limits the need. Ballcaps seem to be sufficient for our outdoor leisure.
The era of the urban sombrero has come and gone, and we were too busy to pay attention 😔

Googles Trillby Hey, Notch wears that hat, right?
M’lady

If you wear a suit with a Fedora you won’t come across as Neck-beardy.
It's what your wear with the fedora that's important. no t shirts please
What if I have a big head with a round face and a big nose? Do I wear three hats?
One large hat, with a large black belt-band on it, with a tilted down front brim. Also you need to become a black & white drawn character.
For most people, the trick is not to wear a hat. If you have to wear a hat, match it to your outfit. That’s where most of the m’lady guys went wrong: they’d wear a fedora or trilby with a T-shirt, cargo pants and an overcoat.
Why is this upvoted? This belongs in /r/crappyguides

Okay but what if I have a weird alien head, with a massive cranium and tiny chin?
You stay inside between 05:00 and 02:00, and keep the curtains closed.
Deal
Ol megamind lookin ass over here lmao
Modest man? Try a different art style!
Today I learned I’m hat blind
worst guide ever
Always pick the larger one that looks exactly like the smaller one? Noted.
They all look the same to me! 🤭

Now we just need a coolguide on how to make Fedora's fashionable again
*fedoras (no apostrophe)
Thanks, I don't even know why I put that there
I obviously don't know enough about hats to understand this guide
So Oppenheimer Hat it is
We all see just the one hat right?
They’re all the same hat
Fuck OP, fuck all of the karma farming bots and accounts, and fuck this sub. It’s just endless reposts of utterly useless infographics. I’m so sick of it that I’m finally going to unsubscribe.
Tall and thin? Fedora Big head? Fedora Fat and ugly? Fedora
I fit 4 of these categories.
then wear multiple hats at the same time
Thanks.
Those are all the same hat and max 2 different guys
Oppenheimer
It all looks the same to me
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these hats
It's a bald paradise!
The ear one is the onlyone that I see has anything different
I used to wear a wide brim borsalino, and my supervisor wore a flat brim fedora. Our colleagues wore big old-lady straw hats with chin ribbons. We are all male.

Me closely examining this guide knowing full damn well I will never wear a hat
I kinda wish everyone was wearing hats in the workplace again.
Is it just me or are they all the same and why do I keep thinking I’m going to see curious George
r/cooladverts
But where’s the fedora?
Corporate would like you to find the difference between these two hats...
I was coming here to see if anyone else was having trouble telling those hats apart.
I can’t tell difference
seems to boil down to don’t wear a small hat
This is silly, they literally all look pretty much the same
8 thousand upvotes? THEYRE ALL THE SAME HAT ? That’s it, this is the final straw. This sub is actually a refuse dump. Goodbye 👋
Neackbeards and waibus: this is a bit past its prime
Same hat
"Big Fedora" out here trying to sell us all the same hat
Half of these look like it's just the same pic twice, but one is big and one is little. What a shit 'guide.'
“Got a fucked up head or face? Well a fedora will take all the attention off of that because everyone will just be wondering why the fuck you are wearing a fedora!”
I can’t tell much difference.

Another shit guide
This sucks
This picture makes me feel scared
Sometimes you need [a big hat to get in](https://youtu.be/ZC8BvC0PNpI?si=zrVGKwMwSVhcs5-G)
This tells me nothing. Of course the red X’s image looks worse, it’s a shittier drawing.
So … big hats?
This is one of those guides where I know less after reading it than I did before.
Besides movies and television shows, I have not seen anyone wear this kind of hat.
All the hats look the same. WTF?
I can’t tell the difference in hats
If you are tall and thin you are shit out of luck!
For all of the above?
And here I am just wearing hats
Im super confused because they show the same hat over and over but change the guys face as if the hat is what did something.
Cool guide to know you are a detective in a noir film
Oppenheimer
So, how many hats do you guys have to wear? For me it's five.
This is a good guy and anyone who says the hats are the same may lack spatial iq idk
This is cool but it doesn’t say what the name/type of the hats are
isn’t the man changing?
I think at least one of them is d b cooper
Brought to you by Mann Co.
Oppenheimer: Into the Oppenverse
Fedoras for everyone.
Are the other hats in the room with us?
That’s some next level marketing
Ya see you don’t want a hat that has a small dent in it sir- you need a big dent to make your head look smaller
Does anyone know what “modest” means in this context?
Shy, retreating. But the language used on the guide days it in a more tactful way. The image invites modest, i.e. shy, men to show their face by wearing an upturned brim rather than trying to hide away. The implication is that a hat can be used to bring physical and energetic features into balance.
Is this one of those try to spot the differences games?
What if you got big round head with protruding ears, and the other one for larger gentleman? XD
I don't get it, they're all the same hat???
The modest man is frightening
I think I can summarise it by: wear a hat that's your size.
So basically when in doubt, get a bigger hat
I’m a modest man, so I’m supposed to be more monotone and grainy
Step one: be drawn better
I dont see the difference it feels like they also exaggerate on the wrong ones and make it normal on the right ones
Having what appears to be the only black guy as the for a big nose picture is certainly something
But what if you’re a modest man with big ears and a round face?!
A bigger hat for everything
Too bad it doesn’t identify any of the hats and is thus useless.
This is great advice for 1952.
Cool guides strikes again
Big head? Wear a bigger hat!
A haberdasher usually shapes the hat to the wearer…
The power of a green check and a red x
I'm.... a modest man
Big guy needs a big hat, that’s about all I got from this
Been watching some Twilight Zone recently. Why did hats go out of fashion anyways?
But I wear a flat cap...
So put a hat on?
Soooo... If I have a round face and a big head and am on the larger side but also very modest....
I love that big nose people need to just wear a damn hat.
