The Straw Hat Riot
There are a lot of reasonable things one might get angry about, even a little riled up – but, rioting over a straw hat?
Sounds like this something that took place at a county fair someplace? Somewhere they imbibe in a bit of moon-shine perhaps?
Nope –
This happened in a place where they take fashion seriously. It happened in September 1922 – In one of the great centers of civilization - New York City.
Yep –
Ok of all the things that might cause a ruckus, ok – more than a ruckus, a full-blown multi-day riot - how could a straw hat possibly have anything at all to do with it.
Apparently, the refined folks of New York City have always taken the statutes of style very seriously – and back in the 1920s the wearing of a straw hat – known as a ‘boating’ hat after September 15th was a faux pas of the highest order.
