    Whoa… that’s a load of men not wearing hats. oO

    I mean, that’s an almost meaningless distinction across most of history I guess, but if I understand correctly, hats and dress attire were almost mandatory, those days. In that location and city…

      Yeah I always heard that before JFK all men in the US wore hats and that after JFK none did.

      This photo proves that to be a lie. 😆

        It’s seriously pretty surprising to me historically-speaking to see this photo. Look at a bunch of random photos from this period from 1st-world countries & similar and ~90%+ of men are wearing hats.

        Btw, I tend to think the JFK thing is fairly accurate for the USA. Once the 60’s got going with the bigger hair and all, the usual kinds of ‘society-safe’ hats just looked stoopid.
