This is a nice style. Short and simple. The crown is about four inches tall. Smooth clean lines. Bold diamond shape in top of crown. Shorter brims suggested.
Technically, this is a fedora with a completely different look than any of my other fedoras. No pinches. The front comes to a sleek V, like the bow of a sailboat. Overall, it has sort of a “streamlined” look.
The Italiano would wear well with retro, euro, or jeans and an aloha shirt. It will never be my most popular style. But for some, it will be the perfect style.
Consider a narrow ribbon for an even stronger statement.
