The Mittani & The Fedora

First off I would like to say that this is something that has seriously confused me and that is not easy to do. For some time it has been the policy of goon-swarm and a part of certain internet sub-cultures to make fun of people wearing fedoras. I Xenuria wear a fedora. I have several fedoras in my possession and I choose which one to wear based on my other attire.

Now for some background, The Mittani has on several occasions made fun of my choice in hats and even went so far as to say some hurtful things at fanfest about me and a young individual who just happened to be wearing a fedora. During a CSM roundtable The Mittani incorrectly made a distinction between a trilby and fedoras in general. He was saying that the hat I wore in my CSM photo was a trilby and not a fedora. The fact of the matter is a trilby is a fedora.

Fedora is really a catch all term for hats that do not already have a name of their own as well as a particular subset of hats (normally made of felt) and worn by men.

Now allow me to show you something peculiar.
http://www.themittani.com/ <-- This is the site listed by none other than The Mittani himself as his "official" website.

Does that hat on The Mittani official website look familiar?
That is because it is, it's a fedora.

Either you are paying good attention to the subtext or you are being a big doof.


Dear God...
He even uses titles that reference things most people have never heard of. The Fedora, the sudden shift in humor, it's all starting to make sense now.

The Mittani is...

Me.

Fedoras are a lot like crocs to me. I've never seen anyone wear it and have it look good on them.

What happened to good old fashioned Tin Foil Hats?

They actually have a real modern meaning to them than fedoras, which are a ... relic of the past. You might as well wear Middle Ages hats and call them fashionable :-/

What's a mittani, and why should I care how many of them you have?

Also, don't mock fedoras. Indy is not amused.

The thing with hats in general is that only about 10% of the worlds population actually looks good in them. And that percentage drops by a large amount when it comes to Fedoras as the only people who can make the look work are real men and sexy women. Actors like Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford, and Humphrey Bogart (in the picture above) can get away with it because they are real men. The OP however is not a real man nor a sexy woman, though it seems he tries hard to be both.

Hint: Compare the jawlines of all mentioned. Who has chiseled and who has chipmunk?

What are you implying?
Are you trying to say I can't wear a fedora because I don't fit your definition for man or sexy woman?
