OK I may be mistaken here, but from looking through these pictures I'm getting the impression that generally, younger men were adopting the front pinch and older men were using the side pinch, so more or less this might be the beginning of when the front pinch began to become the prevailing style.

In this one, the guy's hat looks like a dark version of my VS Tucker!

And overall, my reaction is, "Oh, to live in a climate where a man could wear a hat and an overcoat for more than a few days a year --!"
