A brief history: The word fedora comes from the title of an 1882 play by Victorien Sardou, Fédora.
The term fedora was in use as early as 1891. Originally a women's fashion into the 20th century
By the way..I've just discovered that there's another tipe of hats called 'TRIBLY' that has a pinch at the front.
