Video: How Cars Killed the Hat
(youtu.be)
Also how being inside all the time killed the hat
cars also killed the long wool coat
I would say bikes killed that and I am totally fine with it.
I dont get why you would wear a coat or a hat
I wear a hat every day.
It's to cover my head btw
Plenty of people biked with long coats
Long coats were very warm, but they were phased out because people stopped using warm coats and they were heavy and bulky in a bucket seat. They also fell out of fashion because trades and sports moved to lighter-weight synthetics, which made its way down to casual wear.
They're coming back into fashion now in big cities, though. It's nice to be able to sit outside in the winter without freezing.
Interesting, yes I always wondered why trousers are so thin and the legs freeze. I wear wool leggings, then it is warm too.
Nope. John and Jackie Kennedy killed the hat. He went to his inauguration bareheaded and she seldom wore hats. The two were both giant fashion icons in their time.
In the very first James Bond movie, Bond is wearing a hat when he does the spin and shoot at the gun barrel. In every movie afterwards he's bareheaded.
Kennedy wore a top hat to his inauguration. And I feel like any impression of Jackie features the pill box hat.
And Bond is British, what would he care about fashion trends on this side of the Atlantic?
The fact that there's very little clearance for a proper hat inside of a car (as opposed to the higher ceiling in trains and buses) played a much larger role in killing the hat.
Cars were around throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Hats started disappearing in the 1960s.
Yeah all those great Britain made bond films. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The character is British but those movies are completely American
Stick to fish n chips, and destroying other cultures, mate.
James Bond movies only ever had one US director, Cary Joji Fukunaga, and one other non-US director who is New Zealander, Lee Tamahori. It is produced by Eon, a British film production
James bond is as American as apple pie, which is to say not at all
