Just Hanging Around

One might visit every restaurant in Manhattan today and find fewer men's hats hanging on hooks than are displayed in this photo. That once universal accoutrement, though currently enjoying renewed vogue among the soul-patch-and-skinny-trouser set, is but poorly replaced by the ubiquitous and most unflattering baseball cap, a ridiculous affectation for anyone not pursuing outdoor work. Apparently, men used to glue their fedoras firmly to their pates, for I recall seeing vicious melees in old movies with multitudes having chairs broken over their heads or being thrown into the mirror behind the bar but without a single hat's being lost.

Looks like
