Mrs. P dives into the history of the Stetson Hat and how it was co-opted to became the preferred fashion accessory of the fascist performative male. From pro socialist, immigration and women's rights beginnings in Mexican culture to being brought back east to Philadelphia and mass produced using a business model closely resembling tech companies of today.
