Bearded Beanies
Available on etsy, for those who think their cherub would look just adorable, if only he/she had a beard!
Found this via a blog called sad etsy kids, which is devoted to collecting pictures of kids who don't look like they're enjoying modeling their parents' creations.

I knew there was another reason to lament the passing of the custom of men wearing formal hats everywhere!
From the 1930s catalog.

How lace curtains helped win World War II
The story goes that, during the Battle of the Bulge, in the winter of 1944, Sgt. William Furia (shown) decorated his helmet with some lace curtains that he found in an abandoned home. He did it as a joke, but then he and his fellow soldiers realized the lace made excellent camouflage in the snow. So the practice of decorating helmets with lace curtains became widespread. And thus camouflaged, the Allied soldiers were able to beat back the German offensive. Which is how lace curtains became America's secret weapon that allowed it to win the war.
