Symbol of the Fedora

In Noir films, the Fedora is a symbol of the heroic private detective.  IMHO this "PI" icon is the most professional stereotype in the security industry.  Surveillance is increasingly becoming more important for security officers, and the PI stereotype simply works better for us than the alternative "mall cop" stereotype promoted by Hollywood.

Graphic novel illustrator and author Brian Thompson works in the security field, and literally embraces the Fedora for more practical reasons.  He created the following document which humorously explains why: The Case for the Fedora.pdf
