Hutgesetz – Atatürk in Izmir 1925

In 1925, Atatürk (1881–1938) – here on a visit to Izmir – introduced the so-called Hat Law (Turk.  Şapka kanunu). This reform or revolutionary law determined that the hat was the head covering for the male population and at the same time forbade the wearing of the oriental head coverings. The law is in force de jure to this day.
