"The fedora, angled just so, is his homage to French Resistance hero Jean Moulin."

The 15yo hero we need

“In a sea of hoodies and sneakers, [at school] he shows up in a riff on a three-piece suit. And the hat? No, that’s its own ritual. The fedora is reserved for weekends, holidays and museum visits”

"Fedora man" is a 15yo boy who takes sartorial inspiration from Poirot and other mid-20th century detectives. “When something unusual happens, you don’t imagine a normal detective,” he said. “You imagine someone different.”
