Hats On All Times For Marine Officers In Public
USMC Chief orders that hats must be worn by male and female officers at all times when out of doors including in civilian clothes. The directive, appended to existing regulations, targets officers in the Washington area and permits mufti only during leave and liberty. Many at headquarters expect the rule to ban Ivy League caps, straw boaters and Tyrolean hats.
