those could literally be any of the hundreds of thin ribbon hats offered by numerous companies in the early 60sWho can name the hats in this picture? I'll roll the dice on a couple Open Roads, but what about the others?
Pardon me if anyone has already posted this somewhere.

Hell, he might still have it. Wonder if he's a 7 1/4.

Racism has nothing to do with a historical artifact, in this case a hat. It isn't a hood.not all that interested in an old racists hat
old Jim is known to say some wild things
a hat owned by a racistRacism has nothing to do with a historical artifact, in this case a hat. It isn't a hood.
Is this your original claim?there is some loose confirmation here that it is indeed a Stetson Open Road

So is the correct identification that the hat is also a racist? Or perhaps just a part of history?a hat owned by a racist
Is this your original claim?
I have no idea what this meansSo is the correct identification that the hat is also a racist? Or perhaps just a part of history?
But it is a Resistol, not one of "many hundreds of other options."commonly someones "original claim" would be the first thing they said about something ...
in this case it was
"those could literally be any of the hundreds of thin ribbon hats offered by numerous companies in the early 60s"
much of the hatless Kennedy stuff is completely falseIt's mildly interesting to me that Kennedy is considered one of the reasons fedoras (and other male headwear) fell out of popularity in America (he didn't wear a hat at his inauguration), and yet we saw so many still being worn in 1963 following his assassination. I'm not trying to make a poignant connection, only that the trend of not wearing hats hadn't yet caught up in Dallas, or at least with Dallas law enforcement.

But you've claimed you are not interested in the hat that you've now commented on multiple times (and will yet comment again). So the point is moot. I guess.
