How is the pre-1925 hat different than the 1925-28 hat?
Okkonen's site is down, and I came to rely on it so much that I put his book in storage, so I can't look it up right now, but my recollection is that the caps are the same 1921-1926 (at least)--otherwise we could use that as the distinguishing characteristic without need of looking at the socks.
If the caps are the same from 1921-1926 then the Maynard Draper photo is by no means dispositive.
