For many people JFK's murder is still unresolved.
After the inauguration of JFK in 1961 the sale of men's hats plummeted as never before, even during the Great Depression more hats were sold than in 1961.
Men's dress hats did not change much during the World War II years. Snap brims remained in style. The biggest change in men's hats was in color. Gray, brown, and black felt hats were replaced with rainbow hues, and somber black hat bands were replaced with bands of riotous color and pattern.
Up to 1960, men wore dress hats as a matter of course. Dress hat sales started to tank after John F. Kennedy appeared hatless at his inauguration in 1961, and took further hits in the dress down decades to follow. -- hathistory.org
