    If the answer isn’t cars the video is wrong. It’s not because JFK didn’t wear a hat, it’s because we started driving everywhere and when you’re only outside for the 5 seconds from parking lot to front door you don’t need the protection from the elements (sun and rain) that people who had to walk everywhere had to. Also what hats persist in car culture? Baseball caps because they cover the eyes but still allow you to sit back against a car seat with the one sided brim

    Source: idk it sounded right in my head

      definitely sounds right to me. imagine trying to go around with, like, a cowboy hat in the modern day. just as an extreme example. that shit would actively get in the way more often than it would help anything

      So...hats are...more common in Europe and other places with walkable cities and good public transport, but I'd hardly call them very common.

        don't focus on the answer to the click-bait question, there's actually a lot of really cool history in this video

        like

        hat making was one of the first female dominated professions in the US

        or

        people hatted so hard they had to introduce species protections for birds with neat feathers

      It's a trilby. The poor fedora, mistreated like that for so long.

      Fedora is what Indiana Jones and 1930s gangsters wear. The trilby is the Internet Atheist [tm].

        The fact that you can confuse them does not make a strong case for fedoras

          Reddit did that. I had heard about the fedora thing, then saw a meme where the chubby, scruffy internet atheist was clearly wearing a trilby. How do you confuse the two? The trilby looks like it should be on a German alpine climber while the fedora looks gangster AF.
