Many are still fan favorites today, like the fedora, worn by Indiana Jones and Humphrey Bogart, and the baseball cap, which it turns out is just a larger-brimmed take on cricket hats. Others, like the trucker hat and the err, foam cowboy hat, not so much.

Take a step back in time with the video above.
