There are more then a few sites out there that will help you dress exactly the way men and women did back in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's. This doesn't happen to be one of them. The whole point of The Fedora Chronicles is to have a place where Vintage Aficionados can share their Retro-Centric experiences.

The goal of this section is to reproduce some of the looks that were common during The Golden Era and incorporate them in with modern every-day and special occasion clothes. Precisely - how do you wear the same fedora with items that are already in your wardrobe?

"The Definitive Pith Helmet Guide," by Kyle Dalton

Pith helmets are one of the most iconic pieces of adventure gear. Just seeing them implies safaris, tropical adventures, and the age of imperialism. However, there are many types of pith helmets, and it takes a bit of looking around to determine which pith helmet is right for your impression. Some are more fitting for a haughty professor, while others are better for the two fisted rogue. As to which is appropriate for which, we'll now turn to this guide.
