Scope and content
Wide-eyed Richard Allyn Miles looks a bit pensive as he stands on a padded table in this May, 1937, photograph. Clad only in diapers securely fastened with an enormous pin and a man's skimmer, he is preparing for the annual rite known as Straw Hat Day. Every spring a day is selected when men can toss their winter hats and wear the much lighter straw version. In 1937, May 27th was chosen as Straw Hat Day.
