RE: Powell's Hair being "Filed?" What's THAT about?!
I am strictly guessing, but I wonder if it refers to a razor cut versus a scissors' cut? As to the slang "trap," I always thought it was a shortening of the term "trappings," which basically was what you wore. Such as, "Mary Lincoln had all the trappings of a wealthy woman."
