Pass The Hat

Did you know that fedoras were originally introduced in the late 1800s as a fashion accessory for women? A few years later, men followed suit and began sporting soft felted hats. Just a little history, ladies, as you browse through the amazing collection of fedoras at Hat Country . . .

    huh, interesting. I always assumed it had been men first. I am loving that blush colored one in the photo on the bottom, would kill for one of those. Ok, maybe not murder, but pay lots of money.
