00:00 Hat-Wearing Declined Introduction
It’s no secret that we at the Gentleman’s Gazette are big on hats, but they are less commonly seen today than at the beginning 19th century, for instance. So, what happened, what changed, and why did men stop wearing hats?
02:07 History of Hats
Hats have been around since before historical records even began. In fact, the oldest surviving example of prehistoric clothing that we’ve found includes a hat. Specifically, it’s one made of bearskin worn by Ötzi “The Iceman.” He was discovered in the Alps in 1991, an estimated 5,000 years or so after his death.
As we also mentioned in that previous guide, one such reason may have been that men returning from the World Wars were sick of wearing helmets or uniform headgear, but this may not be a principal reason either. More significantly then, we think we’ve got four main reasons why hat-wearing declined.
4 Main Reasons Why Hat-Wearing Declined
08:08 1. Climate Control
09:01 2. Notion of Social Class
10:01 3. Highways & Motorcars
13:51 4. The Internet
15:23 History of the Baseball Cap
Today, we rarely see most men wearing hats except for the very casual baseball cap. While some menswear enthusiasts would have the knee-jerk reaction of calling the baseball cap ugly or childish, the fact of the matter is that it does have a rich history and, in fact, is older than some of the other traditional styles that we’ve highlighted before.
In conclusion, there are many socio-cultural, technological, and economic reasons why modern men often skip wearing a hat. From social class to automobiles to central heating to internet message boards, hats have had a rough go of it over the last 50 years or so.
Fortunately, though, there are still some social events where hats are required, like at Royal Ascot, for example, or as part of military or other dress uniforms, and even today, you will occasionally see some celebrities sporting hats as part of their overall image.
So, perhaps hats will rise again and become popular at some point in the future. We can’t say for certain, but if they do, they will likely become popular again because of fashion rather than function.
