Look at the hats! Click on the picture to enlarge it and see more hats. This was the days when everyone wore one. The fashion statement continued more or less until JFK gave his inauguration speech hatless. That was the beginning of the end for hats. I used to like seeing the Bogie films when everyone wore a hat with the brim pulled down. It was also the day of no personal technologies that's for sure. This crowd is standing around in Washington D.C. watching that board under the canopy, a manually operated device depicting runners on base and the current score. Different times, different people, but with one common interest, we all love (loved) baseball.

The war was over, rationing was ended, and women could buy nylons again, and re-proclaim their feminity again by buying a stylish new hat from the Sears catalog. This 1946 collection doesn�t do a thing for me of course, but for the ladies after five years of making do and altering and re-altering it had to be great fun.
