I've found out that the hats I've been seeing everywhere, and wanting to buy for myself, are called Trilbys (I'd been calling them "fedoras, sort of, with a smaller brim?").
Now I feel like an idiot, because I knew all about Trilbys--or at least, all about Trilby, and I knew the hats were named for the novel when it became a Huge Phenomenon--but apparently not what they look like.
Sometimes I feel like everything I know is so bookish that I actually know nothing about the real world.
