How Cars and Hygiene Killed the Middle-Class Hat
10th July 2020
Just in case you were wondering. I know I was.
I remember that my father habitually wore a hat until some time in the early 1960s, and then never did again. Nowadays it is very jarring to see e.g. Roger Stone wearing a hat in public; makes you wonder what he’s up to.
It seems that the only people who wear hats these days are the goobers who wear ball caps in restaurants. I hate those guys.
