My sense is that straw hat day meant that you left your felts behind and donned your boater. Which means the switch really mattered to a time when boaters were prevalent, which was (historians correct me) more of the early 20th century and not the 30s, 40s & 50s. If that's true, what kind of hat did a man in, say, the 30s or 40s reach for in the summer?
