In this section, it is suggested that other styles of brimmed hats include the Panama.
That is not correct; a Panama is a close-woven brimmed straw hat, made in Ecuador. It is not a style of hat. In fact a Panama hat is often in the Fedora style.
The remark is attributed to Hardy Amies; I can't check the citation, because it is a book to which I don't have access. However Hardy Amies was a fashion designer, not a specialist in the history of hats, particularly.

The last sentence under In Popular Culture is about a fairly obscure film writer liking fedoras. Does it really fit in with a discussion of the repopularization of the hat? When I see things like that it looks like the subject himself inserted it to make a name or himself. He’s definitely not on par with Timberlake, who actually did popularize the hat without question.

@Heikkikoskinen: If you want to start a formal move request, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. That said, before you do: There's a long history of Wikipedians overestimating the primary-topic-ness of tech brands and terms versus the things they're named after. I've seen it come up with Android, Bug, and Amazon. There's not a lot of cases where we've decided that a brand is the primary topic over the thing it's named after, and you'd need to provide strong evidence that this is one. From what I can see, only about 15% of people viewing this article then click the link to Fedora Linux, a lower percentage than click on to Homburg hat. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they)01:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. I prefer that the hat remain the primary topic on grounds of long-term significance. This RM basically is another one of those long-term significance vs. usage debates. But the hat is still a current level-5 vital article, and the fact that the operating system was named after the hat (just like Apple Inc. was named after Apple).

Fedoras are commonly associated with neckbeards in online culture

It should be fairly easy to find sources for this too. In fact I think the vice article linked does talk about neckbeards. Wikipedia should stay relevant to contemporary internet culture, where there's a stereotype associated with people who wear such hats.--Phil of rel (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
EDIT: it looks like someone removed the vice article from this article. This is the article I'm talking about [1]--Phil of rel (talk) 21:41, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
