Meaning: Only high society men kept the old rule of an alternate cap while the fedora was a one stop shop solution for the normal man.
A- Steadfastness means quality of being unwavering. Works well to tell us about the continuation of the tradition. Correct.
B- Ambivalence means uncertainity. Illogical.
C- Antipathy means hostility. Also illogical.
D- Fashionable doesn't tell us anything about the hat's multipurpose nature. Incorrect.
E- Luxury is an opposite here. Fedora is for normal ppl.
F- All event is correct and highlights fedora's all event nature. Correct.
