I'm going to a 20's themed party tonight. I've got a suit (not exactly 20's but meh) but I think the crux of the entire ensemble's gonna be a wicked looking fedora. Anyone know where I can buy one in Manhattan (preferrably midtown) for a reasonable price (<$30)?

So how is redhat fedora these days. Last time I checked, which was a few years ago, getting wireless networking to work was a pain.

Hit up the H&M on 640 5th Avenue. I went there last week and saw a few different styles.

If you have time to run downtown, there is a hat store on Nassau street like behind Pace University and around the corner from J&R on Park Row. There is another hat store (or used to be) closer to you on Madison in the 40s. A Thrift Shop would be hit or miss, but there are a couple of thrift shops on the UES along 2nd ave in the 90s and 80s.

H&M, they really are everywhere. One's right next to 111 5th avenue, but I don't know if that's closer to you or not.

H&M :thumbsup:

Hey thanks for the suggestion. Went to the H&M on 42nd and 5th. They had ONE fedora hat left on the shelves and it was exactly my size. It didn't even have a price tag. Rep just rung it up for 7 bucks! It's like the damn thing was made just for me.
