How assholes ruined perfectly awesome hats

General
or "I'm seriously considering giving Kaf's costume a redesign."
I do have a number of reasons for doing so.
1. Visually distinct/world building reasons. For reasons I don't care to divulge too heavily I've decied's Kaf's current outfit is too "American" or rather, too closely resembles Lucy's. I'd like some visual distinction. or more of it, rather.
I'm aiming for a more "British" look, possibly Edwardian.
2. Hipsters and other bastards ruined the look.
Let's face it. The fedora was awesome. I was huge fan of as the kind of person who openly loves black and white movies. Film Noir is the shit.
Then it resurged in popularity among those people. You know the ones. Obsessed with "Irony". They hate the mainstream and call us all "mainstream sheep" while buying anything Pitchfork tells them to. Tight retro clothing. Jeans that leave nothing to the imagination.Terrible taste in tattoos. Proudly wear glasses that you'd get beat up in school for wearing?
Yeah...those guys.
I'd goa bowler/derby but I don't know it's status.
Note Lucy will still wear one. She's basically inspired off several noir protagonists and she can pull the look off. You know, the kind of woman who can emasculate you by lighting your girlfriend's cigerette for her while saying something snappy*.
So yeah if anyone actually heads this crap, any help?
* cookie if you get the reference.
