No, he doesn’t. He thinks he looks like a 40s detective. He’s definitely not going for the hipster look.
I too have a co-worker who affects a fedora. He isn’t very tall nor very big around, and although the hat is the right size, it just overpowers him. It reminds me of some cartoon character I saw (Warner Bros. maybe?) of a small gangster guy in a great tall fedora.
If it was a cowboy hat he would be “all hat, no cattle.” I don’t know the equivalent for a fedora.
Unfortunately I have a narrow face (rather like Mr Spock in that photo linked earlier) and hats with wide brims make me look like I’m about to fly. I wear a suede driving cap when I need to keep my head warm, and a porkpie to shade my head when I’m gardening in the sun, or in Hawaii.

I’m confused… are those relatively small, often plaid, fedora style hats that are popular these days actually considered fedora’s?
And if you image-search the terms hipster + fedora, how many hits do you get? Now try with neckbeard + fedora. Bonus question: how many fedoras do you own?
There are very few photos of me just being me, but i like my hats.
No. Those are the aforementioned trilbys. Nothing wrong with them, but they are a different style of hat with different appropriate times and places to wear.
Those all suit you very well. Some people just have the right face for hats.
That settles it…
They’re dorky

That hat looks perfect for you. The first fedora style hat I bought was a few years ago and one of these bargain out lets for $6.95 I just wanted to keep the sun off my head. I took a liking to them, yesterday I bought a vintage Italian one off of e ebay for $30.00 can’t wait for it to arrive.
While that’s true, with men it’s often a case of finding one suitable for you. Brim size (wide or narrow), brim direction (upturned or down), height of the hat, band. And they work with different clothes as well. Most people just plop one on, which does them - and the art of hat wearing - no favors.
