fedora

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

A fedora is a type of hat that's usually felted and has a wide brim to shade your face.

You might see actors wearing fedoras in old movies or think of Indiana Jones, who always wore one on his adventures. But not just movie stars wear fedoras - they're also popular among people who want to add some style to their outfits. Some cities have a lot of fedora fans because the hat is often associated with gangsters and detectives from classic movies and books. For example, if someone says "he's a fedora kind of guy", it means he likes wearing hats like that as part of his casual or formal look.
