I spoke with my grandmother about the second covering teaching in NB, and to the best of her recollection, which is surprisingly good considering that she was baptized in the Holy Ghost in about 1925, hats were pretty universally worn in the New Brunswick churches until the forties, but because it was the style of the day, and not because of a "second covering" conviction.
In her local assembly (Bro. Jacques' church in Fredericton), hats were never taught as a Scriptural conviction, but were worn until the forties, with gloves, to be fashionably dressed for church.
When hats went out of fashion, most of the churches discontinued wearing them, with the notable exception of Bro. Ralston and the Plaster Rock church.
