Talk:Fedora (hat)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] How can this be?
The article claims that the fedora was invented ~1910, but came from a play in the 1880's! This would appear to be a contradiction, at least as presented. --Maru 17:43, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Not nessisarily. It is possible, and is indeed presented as such, that it existed in a rough form in the play Fédora, but was perfected as an article of clothing (not just a peice of costumery) in 1910. Then,owing a debt to the original, the final form was named after the play which inspired it. A bit confussing? Yes, but possible none the less. The part that initialy tripped me up was the phrasing of the fact about the names origin. I'll try to rephrase it to make it clearer. Lewiscode 01:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Silly Picture
The caption and photograph of "the man on the right is wearing a fedora". How silly and confusing is this. I think it is a bad example and will try to take a better one. Lucky 23 00:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Came here to say exactly the above. Looks like you guys got it covered. It's been two months though, so whoever is able to do it, don't leave it up to Lucky 23!! --Davidkazuhiro 05:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I've changed the second image to the fedora image from the Borsalino article.144.226.230.36 18:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
