The word ''fedora'' comes from the title of an 1882 play by dramatist [[Victorien Sardou]], ''[[Fédora]]'', written for [[Sarah Bernhardt]].<ref>
⚫
Encarta Dictionary, Microsoft Encarta Premium Suite 2004.</ref> The play was first performed in the United States in 1889. Bernhardt played Princess Fédora, the heroine of the play, and she wore a hat similar to what is now considered a fedora. The fedora had been a female fashion. When the fedora became a male fashion item in the late 19th century, it was popular for its stylishness and its ability to protect the wearer's head from the wind and weather. Since the early part of the 20th century, many [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi]] and other [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[Jew]]s have made black fedoras normative to their daily wear.<ref>Jody Shields, John Dugdale – "Hats: A Stylish History and Collector's Guide" (Published by Clarkson Potter) 1991</ref>

Fedoras have become widely associated with gangsters and [[Prohibition]], which coincided with the height of the hat's popularity in the 1920s-early 1950s. In the second half of the '50s, it fell out of favor due to a shift towards more informal clothing styles.

The fedora enjoyed a revival only a few years after its waning popularity, dating back to the mid-1970s. The fedora as a personal statement has made impacts on American and global culture: [[Indiana Jones]] popularized his fedora in the [[Indiana Jones franchise|''Indiana Jones'' franchise]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1386128/Johnny-Depp-channels-Indiana-Jones-brown-fedora-leather-jacket.html | work=Daily Mail | title=It's Indiana Depp!

The hat is typically creased lengthwise down the crown and "pinched" in the front on both sides,.[2] Fedoras can also be creased with teardrop crowns, diamond crowns, center dents, and others, and the positioning of pinches can vary. The typical crown height is 4.5 inches (11.4 centimeters).
