Here's a question I have been trying to find the answer to by looking at tons of old pics, but have been unable to come up with anything definitive, if such is possible.
In the Eastern towns and cities, pics of gentlemen on the streets show almost everybody wearing bowlers, with a few porkpies and skimmers thrown in here and there, the sporting types and kids in panel caps
By the mid-twenties, almost all the felt hats you see are fedoras.
What I cannot seem to get, is when exactly this change started/completed and what impelled the switch.
Anybody have info on this?
