In 1922, New York had riots because of hats.

At that time there were strict fashion rules - a straw hat could be worn only in summer. Those who forgot to update their closet could even be beaten (in 1924 a man was even killed).

But in 1922 the tradition went too far. Teenagers in groups of 1000 people mocked people who forgot to update their hats.
