Yes, that has been my observance too. It really seems to have especially taken root after WW2 when the service men came home and were tired of uniforms and having to always wear a hat. That sentiment was firmly expressed by my father (a Navy veteran) too..........

Interestingly in his declining years he took to wearing those "veteran" baseball caps.....

Mardi Gras on Canal St. near the corner of Burgundy, 1954:
There are at least 2 males in hats in the pic. As you can see, too, not everybody wore a costume. Musta been a little chilly that day --

A collection of crime-oriented photographs from 1926 to the 1950s. Beware, a few of the shots are kind of graphic -- but there's also a wide range of suits, topcoats, hats, cars, and machine guns:

A women's Mardi Gras parade in NO in the late 1950s:
I see at least 5 hats, one in the foreground with a thin ribbon.

I've been wanting to watch this since the beginning. I need to buy the seasons thru Netflix, I guess.
It's worth it, Jack. Been watching since its beginning.

Arthur Hunnicut (1910 - 1979) character actor.
I happened to see him just the other night in El Dorado (1967) with John Wayne & Robert Mitchum. Great character actor.

This is the controversial photo taken in Nashville, TN in 1880 of workers at a cedar barrel factory. After the bank robbery at Northfield, MN Frank & Jesse James with their wives made their way to Nashville where they lived in disguise for over a yr. While they lived there Jesse's wife Zee gave birth to twin boys who died shortly after.
The man 5th from left on the front row is said to be Jesse; Frank is 7th from left on the back row. Other important gang members in what was to play out are Bill Ryan, (4th from left front row with his arm around Jesse), Dick Liddle (4th from left back row; former Confederate guerrilla with Quantrill), & Woodson "Wood" Hite (1st from left back row; along with his brother Clarence the Hites were cousins to the James brothers).
After their return to Missouri it was Bill Ryan's loose talk that brought suspicion upon the gang for the robbery at Blue Cut. It was the killing of Wood Hite by Bob Ford & Dick Liddle that set off Jesse on his final rampage leading to his own death.
Other former gang members pictured are Lorenzo Merriman Little & Andrew Moreman "Mome" Diggs.
