However, because hairstyles were becoming more complicated, some hats (like the cloche) began to wane in popularity. Many of the most popular pill box hats had a small net veil on the front that added a touch of class. Fedoras were still popular 1940s and 1950s hats for men, a carryover from the 20s and 30s. In fact, you can make a great, inexpensive costume with a trench coat, a pair of dark sunglasses, and a 1940s and 1950s hat from our collection as a private eye. 1940s and 1950s hats were made even more popular by actors like Humphry Bogart, whose movies High Sierra, Casablanca, and The Maltese Falcon consistently showed him wearing what is now referred to as the "Bogart" hat – a fedora style hat that is taller in the front than in the back with a band and snap brim.
