Reds did not wear hats

[Torpedo]

This is what an enterprising hatter in Madrid, Spain, used as an slogan in the post-civil war years...

Apparently he thought it would be a good idea for prompting people into buying hats, lest them be suspected of sympathies with the losing leftist Republican side.

I wonder who wore all those ushankas.

Well, how come they had so many hat pins, eh?

Thank you, my friend. They are not yet all mine. But will be. Those guys were a precursor to our "Greatest Generation" & my heroes,

and besides in For Whom the Bell Tolls Gary Cooper has a great proto- "Indiana Jones" thing goin' & Bergman... what can I say? She simply never looked lovelier. And that is sayin' something!, IMHO!.

Hahaha, yes but which revolution? Just as ubiquitous as the black (Basque style) beret was for the republicans, so was the is for the nationalist. The Carlist Requetés (royalist/fundamentalist-Catholic militias) wore, ironically enough, red berets. Later the Blue shirts of the Flange (fascists) was combined with the red beret to make up the uniform of Franco's post-civil war political party!

Isn't the beret the ubiquitous hat for any revolution?
