A little Reed Crandall coming at you. How's this for POLICE COMICS?

It could very well be! And that a trench coat you're getting? Is there a fedora to go with it? -M Could be.
I own multiple trench coats, and more fedoras than most people would consider sensible. (And that's not counting the Akubras, Stetsons, homburgs, bowlers, top hats, etc. I like hats. ) I started a hat collection to wear for myself just last year. I have (3) trilby, (1) Panama, (1) fedora and I’m not sure what this classifies as but I liked it and bought it. My ultimate goal is a bowler but I really don’t have confidence I can pull it of. I do like the homburg and porkpie. Just haven’t found one I like yet.

Don't sell yourself short-- If I can pull off a bowler in a random quickie-cam shot with a t-shirt, you can make it work with just about anything. I don't break my Stacy Adams bowler out very often, usually around St. Patrick's Day or some other Irish- or British-centric occasion... but never with a t-shirt (outside of this extreme example).
The key to wearing a bowler is cocking and raking it in a manner that is stylish, but not over-exaggerated. I say "Go for it!"

Agreed. I don't wear my bowler very often (mine's a Kaminski, an Australian maker) as the wide-brimmed fedoras are better at keeping off the sun and the rain. But anyone who does any kind of steampunk costuming needs to have a bowler in their wardrobe.
As tartanphantom said, the secret is to cock it at a rakish angle and channel your inner John Steed. And a bowler is the perfect hat for doffing to ladies.

Thanks for the tips and confidence boost.
Funny enough, watching The Avengers at my grandma's on cable in the 80's and 90's is precisely how I got my first crush and first male idol. And I've been wanting to try a bowler and hook handle umbrella ever since. (It'd be cool if it had a fencing sword in it too.)

Whenever the police are shooting at you, you should absolutely go into an interpretive dance.
