Ladies and gents, he’s done it again. Justin Timberlake is back, and he’s putting pressure on guys everywhere to step up their style game — with a fedora.

In the lyric video for his latest single, JT makes the ladies weak in the knees — and the men jealous — in a laid-back, Panama-style fedora. For a modern take on this classic crooner style, Justin pairs his topper with a lightweight coat and classic aviators.

If you’re looking to capture Justin’s smooth signature style, we recommend a hat with a solid, neutral band. A band in a shade like black or brown will stand out and make a statement against a lighter straw hat, without attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Our top picks for a Justin Timberlake-esque hat are the Henschel Toyo Straw Piano Fedora … Read More »

Based on the book by Paul Lieberman, Gangster Squad depicts the story of a team of LAPD officers as they try to take back their city from mob king, Mickey Cohen. With a star-studded cast that includes A-list actors like Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, and Ryan Gosling, Gangster Squad embodies the spirit, culture, and fashion of the 1940s.

After you see the film, one thing will be certain — you need the Gangster Squad style. The timeless suits, suspenders, and — of course — fedoras worn by Gosling, Penn, and the gang, make for a sophisticated look that’s considered impeccable, even by today’s standards.

To truly recreate the classic ’40s fashion in the 21st century, we consulted A Tip of the Hat‘s resident fedora experts. From mob bosses to undercover cops, they broke down the flick’s most dapper hats and … Read More »

It’s a representation of intelligence, high status, and wealth. It symbolizes that you mean business and know what you’re talking about. No, I don’t mean your Yale Law degree on the wall. I’m talking about a tailor-made suit. And even though business attire is changing, a tailor-made suit is still reputable for events like meetings with clients or out-of-office events like weddings.

Go to business colleagues, friends, or family members who you know have a tailored suit and ask them who makes their suits. Also, according to AskMen.com, most reputable tailors can be found in major department stores or … Read More »
