I was a fashion statement forty years ago and didn’t know it.

The US Army gave them to people for free.

People in the army do not wear Castro hats. That is why they are called “Castro hats” because everyone recognizes them on Castro.

Keep in mind if I just made a thread asking about Palin’s hat, not much would come from it.

Her hat isn’t an army hat at all. If so, then tons of teenage girls are running around with army hats. No, they are something else.

For all you folks who are going “STUPID THREAD OMG!!!”, just google “Castro hat” and you will see what I mean. This is one story that came up: http://www.newser.com/story/7960/castros-hat-is-suddenly-hot-fashion-item.html

You can even go to www.castrohat.com and have a whole selection of different Castro Hats!

So, without a doubt, the “Castro Hat” is popular on young women. It is funny to see Palin wearing one though.
