Fedora Hats
The Fedora is a soft felt hat with a lengthwise crease and pinches in the front of the crown, and is traditionally worn with the brim snapped down in front. The Fedora is a cosmopolitan hat, popular for its stylishness and ability to protect the wearer from wind and rain. Hats made of straw or twill are still referred to as Fedoras if they have the classic shape.
The Fedora defined the classic look of Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s, worn by detectives, gangsters, and tough business people. The Blues Brothers wore Fedoras. Humphrey Bogart wore one in both Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon.

Panama Straw Hats
The Panama hat has been popular in Latin American countries since the early 1800s, but became well-known north of the equator during the construction of the Panama Canal. Interestingly, these hats are handmade in Ecuador, not in Panama, from the leaves of the Carludovica Palmata, or hat palm.
It's said that the weave on a good Panama hat is so tight that it will hold water, and so soft that it can be rolled up to fit in a pocket. Panama hats are often warn as accessories to summer weight linen or silk suits.
