Vintage Hats from 1920's - 40's Ireland Question

Leaving Galway today.

Quick notes: there is an excellent exhibit at the Galway museum that includes one hat. American flat brimmed fedora that belonged to a soldier in the Irish Army that was executed--Liam Mellows, iirc.

The stores here now only sell mass market flat caps from Macron and a few fedora shaped things for people to keep the rain off their heads.

Plenty of photos of people wearing caps, but as was told to me by the clerk where I bought my cap, "it's too windy here for hats and umbrellas".

Galway is devoid of a hat store.
