One of those channels i regularly watch is TCM because its really classic movies. On Memorial Day they ran a silent classic in King Vidor's Big Parade. It is the story of a vacant idle son of American affluence coming of age in the War to End All Wars. To help set its scene, it displayed a variety of stereotypical Americans, working men, cowboys, etc., in addition to the affluent. One of they ways it set this scene was through their hats. I was much taken by this glimpse of 1925 looking at the recent past (1917-18) and the way it depicted men, and women, dressed and wearing their hats.
