Helmets, like the kid on the right is wearing were all the rage when I was his age.

I am posting this photo because it meets the criteria of the OP. I hope it does not bring down anyone (make wistful, may be ok). Like @BobHufford's previous post of an American bar mitzvah boy, this should give some insight into what Jewish religious hats mean to this community. Thanks for indulging me.
