Bespoke Fedoras

Bespoke Fedoras is a men's clothing store with a wide variety of modern hats and accessories. The store is designed for people who want to dress like a 1930s Noir Detective.

The hats are all hand made from the finest yak wool or beaver felt imported from Northwinds Pass. The bespoke nature of the products and the dedication to only using the highest quality materials means nothing at Bespoke Fedoras is cheap. All of that money is going toward making a fine product however, and not toward a fancy brand name or advertising campaign.

There is a section of overcoats and trench coats. They come in a wide range of colors from camel to navy to purple. Black is not available. In fact, almost nothing at Bespoke Fedoras is available in black, as they view it as too formal of a color. The designers here prefer darker blues or browns or greys, but darker greens and purples are not uncommon. Burgundy and other dark reds are also plentiful.

You can buy shirts, pants, vests, and suit coats. You can also get a variety of accessories like ties, cufflinks, and watches. Bespoke Fedoras only carries a limited amount of shoes.

Bespoke Fedoras is well respected both in Tri-City and all around the Federation of Like Minded States. Many customers from the Federation view the shop as a must visit place for any trip to Tri-City.

History

Bespoke Fedoras is one of the oldest businesses in Tri-City, being built a few years before the concept of 'Tri-City' ever existed.

Richard Oscar Shae, who later became known as one of the founders of Tri-City, was just a simple hatter from New Fossa. He moved to Bricktown to trade with the people of Northwinds Pass for the high quality beaver felt and yak wool that is only available in Northwinds. (Soon after Northwinds becomes a colony of the Keplar Empire)

After the Raspberry War Shae and Keplan business owner Fae Norine put together a plan and gathered investors for the Armistice Bridge, a symbol of the peace treaty between the two sides.

See The Story of Shae and Norine for the full story.

The road leading to the bridge leads customers right next to Bespoke Fedoras and Paladin Pizza (Fae Norine's business). As a result the newly formed Coalition of Likeminded States district of Tri-City formed around Bespoke Fedoras, making the location a pillar of Tri-City culture.

10 years later when the Coalition formed into a more formal Federation, the Likeminds of Tri-City changed the name of their district from 'Coalition Official Trade Territory' to 'Fedora' as a nod to Shae's importance to the history of the district.

Sponsored Artists

Bespoke Fedora sponsors Lanford Shae and the All Time Greats. Part of this is because Lanford is the majority share holder in the company, and partly because his jazz band is one of the most popular in the world.

Lanford, the grandson of Richard Oscar Shae is featured in many ads with images of him wearing the brands hats and suits. Bespoke Fedora never pays for ad space, however, Lanford is featured in all the popular magazines and will trade interviews for free advertisment.

Other members of the All Time Greats also show up in Bespoke Fedoras advertisements from time to time, even a few of the female members show up, but wearing men's clothing of course, because that's all Bespoke Fedoras sells.
