I knew there was another reason to lament the passing of the custom of men wearing formal hats everywhere!

From the 1930s catalog.

Pretty edgy for the time, although some edginess has grown with the mutation of slang: "I am engaged. Blow."
Clinton could have worn that.

This did not go away, it just changed venues.

My friend has 2 I love, 'I just haven't been the same since the house fell on my sister' and 'I see stupid people' she wore the second one to a work meeting. :lol: Oh and one more fav of mine 'I need minions' :lol:
