Doc Holliday and Gambler hats:
John Henry ‘Doc’ Holliday is one of the American gamblers who happened to be a gunfighter and dentist by profession. Due to his legendary shoot out at the O.K. Corral, he gained massive attention and also had given birth to several TV series, and movies. Holliday was famous for wearing a hat, which was named as ‘gambler’ possibly as a tribute to Holliday.
There are variations available in gambler hats depending on the width of brim, size of crown and height of crown. Gambler hats sport a round or oval crown and have a moderately wide brim with a slight upturn. The magnitude of upturn is lower than that in a cowboy hat, but more than a fedora. Due to the iconic style statement of Holliday, his hat was famously known as Doc Holliday hat.

Taylor Swift and Pork Pie hat:
The global American singer cum songwriter, Taylor Swift is a well-known personality in the fashion industry. She has a beautiful taste in clothes and hats as depicted by her songs. Although it is not necessarily a signature hat, in many of her songs, she is seen to be wearing a pork pie hat, which is one of the cutest hats invented so far. Pork pie hat is so named because its structure is similar to a traditional English meat (pork) pie.
It has a very interesting outline; the brim or edge of the hat has a slight upturn like Gambler’s and has a decent width of brim. The crown of the hat is what makes it iconic due to its telescoped structure. It can come in different crown shapes such as oval, round and spherical.

Michael Jackson and Fedoras:
Another renowned name in the list of American singers and songwriters is Michael Jackson or Michaels, who was also a brilliant dancer. He had always been seen with a lovely and elegant looking black fedora hat. He wore a black fedora with a black ribbon tied or wrapped around the base of the crown. His variant of fedora is relevant and famous even today and is also worn by many aspiring dancers.
A fedora hat can be compared to a wide-brimmed hat because it has a brim width of similar size. However, a fedora has a deeper and more distinct crown crease than a wide-brimmed hat. The height of both the hats is also similar in nature.
