Club Obi Wan

Yes, maybe this is a little metro of a thread but I've always had a problem with keeping my hair decent looking after wearing a fedora for an extended period of time.

Generally after I wear one my hair gets this kinda "I've been pressed up against a wall" look. I generally keep my top longer and the sides and back shorter, similar to Rick O'Connell's hair style in "The Mummy".

God I feel weird asking this..."Any tips?"

How did guys back in the day keep their hair looking good while wearing a fedora.

You already have a classic "short back & sides" by the sound of it - which is the pretty much the classic look for the 1st half of the 2oth century up until the late 60s. If you want period accurate hair-dressing, go for Brylcreem, or Black & White Pluko brilliantine (wax!).

Best hair for wearing a fedora; None.

That's the method I have chosen as well, Chewie!

Gotta love the search function.

sorry, I did try the search at first but didn't use hat, just hair....my mistake.

That's alright, at least you still have your hair! If the first try doesn't come up with anything, try one or two more refinements. I typed in "hat hair," set it for topics in the Fedora section and found those in the list it brought up. True, the search function is a bit awkward, but it works if you give it a chance. If that doesn't work after a couple tries, post away!
