History Main / FedoraOfAsskicking

->"For the heroes, even the fedora, jacket, and khakis were common attire".
-->-- Creator/JamesRolfe in the intro to [[http://cinemassacre.com/2009/07/06/top-ten-dumbest-indiana-jones-moments/ the top 10 dumbest Indiana Jones moments]]

* [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard]] wears a nice-looking fedora. [[spoiler: He got it from Abraham Van Helsing.]]

* Franchise/TheGreenHornet wears one as part of his CoatHatMask.

-->"This is a hatless planet. There is nothing more sad than a race of beings who must take off their pants for the national anthem."

* Manitoba Smith from WesternAnimation/TotalDrama, in direct homage to Indie up there.

* WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck wears one with a particularly wide brim as part of his costume.

* Sera of ''DetectiveConan'' has one, although she only wears it in her first few appearances. She's definitely badass...one of the reasons is that she beat Ran at her own game (asskicking) with Jeet Kune Do.

A SisterTrope to AdventurerOutfit, AdventurersCap, ScarfOfAsskicking.

* Chip of ''ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'', whose wardrobe was based on Indiana Jones.

* DarkwingDuck wears one with a particularly wide brim as part of his costume.

* Averted with Linkara of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall''. Although he's plenty kickass, he wears a trilby.

* Although Linkara of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' didn't start out as an action hero, the plotlines eventually made him one.

A SisterTrope to AdventurerOutfit, AdventurersCap, ScarfOfAsskicking. Often combined with a [[CoatHatMask Coat and a Mask]].

* Daisuke Jigen of Characters/LupinIII wears a dark fedora, with the brim usually pulled down, covering the top half of his face. Combined with his slouch, it looks like he's always taking a nap.
* Sera of DetectiveConan has one, although she only wears it in her first few appearances. She's definitely badass...one of the reasons is that she beat Ran at her own game (asskicking) with Jeet Kune Do.

* Wannabe HardboiledDetective Shotaro Hidari, [[FusionDance half]] of Series/KamenRiderDouble, wears fedoras. He inherited them from his mentor, actual HardboiledDetective Sokichi Narumi aka Kamen Rider Skull, and ''he'' was so badass he wore a white fedora ''even as Skull''.

In some of the adventure {{Film Serial}}s, the fedora would be worn by the hero, usually as a means of hiding his face when played by a StuntDouble. When Indiana Jones came along, it solidified the hat as a sign of the adventurer (at least to modern audiences). It can also become an IconicItem. Another function the fedora serves is that it gives the hero a distinctive silhouette.

* Gennojo Hyuga from the ''CastleOfShikigami'' BulletHell series of games is an investigator who flies around firing arcing fireballs and transforming into a werewolf when enraged, due to having the blood of an ancient wolfgod in his veins. He wears a black suit and fedora-style hat.
* Sundown Kid from ''LiveALive'', seeing that his scenario is based on Wild West, comes with one.

* In ''{{Onimusha}} 2'', one of Jubei's alternate costumes is an anachronistic gangster outfit with fedora and shades. Sadly, this outfit only appears in a brief minigame, ''The Man in Black.''
* Phantom R in RhythmThiefAndTheEmperorsTreasure wears one as part of a [[BadassInANiceSuit nice suit]].

* Baek Doo San from the ''Tekken Series''. Although his default costume is a taekwondo uniform, he has an alternate costume which features him in a suit complete with a fedora.

Just be careful not to confuse a trilby (a hat with a similar arc, but a short, curled brim around the perimeter) for a fedora.

* Averted on the internet. Fedoras have a huge {{Hatedom}}.

* ''[[Videogame/La-Mulana]]'''s Lemeza Kosugi rocks a green fedora. He has to hold it on while falling or riding some fast vehicles.
