Trivia
- The Fancy Fedora actually resembles a Trilby [1] more than it does a Fedora. Fedoras have wider brims and were more popular in America, while the Trilby was more popular in Europe (from where the Spy originates).
- In Hollywood movies of the 1940s, characters often wore a fedora; particularly when playing as a private detective, a gangster, or any other "tough guy" role. The fedora is also closely associated with "Template:W" characters. Fedoras and Trilbies are also prominently used in European gangster/crime films, for example Template:W or in many of the works of Jean-Pierre Melville (such as Template:W, Template:W, and Template:W).
