This has become a famous photo of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, seen walking away from a federal courthouse after pleading guilty to fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials. He was wearing what some journalists have called a clownish black fedora and a guilty look.
I'm not so sure about the guilty look, but I definitely do not think this hat is "clownish." I think it is an elegant hat of a style that deserves to be resurrected in men's fashions.
I'm taking a poll. What do you think? Is this a clown's hat, a costume from a Mafia movie, or a seriously good-looking hat that real men should wear more often? Leave a comment and let me know.

sorry, i only get to reading blogs once or twice a month...
but i like the hat. esp. since i saw Matt Lauer pull off a similar one a few weeks ago on the Today show.
i read this post when it first showed up, but for some reason didn't feel like commenting. now, weeks later, i feel like commenting. hats are good, but not when you are on the stand for a crime, and it makes you look like you're in the mafia.
