Manners and Etiquette:
1) Informal hats and caps, ballcaps, etc - men and women
. . . remove them upon going indoors & restaurant
. . . carry them to table or hat rack
. . . some experts say remove at table even when eating outdoors
. . . unfortunately, it is becoming accepted in fast food eateries
2) Formal hat, fedora, tophat, etc - men
. . . same as #1
3) Formal hats, bonnets, etc - women
. . . proper to wear at table and while eating
. . . optional to remove while eating
. . . in either case, may wear indoors & through restaurant to/from table
4) Military
. . . men and women have different rules
. . . men *usually* do not wear indoors unless ceremonial or under arms
. . . women can wear at indoors and at most meals
. . . other times, they follow with men and remove
. . . other times, they don't follow with men and don't remove
. . . yes, the difference can get complicated to the casual observer
NOTE:
Most people do not understand when to not wear a hat.
Especially indoors.
Let alone hat customs, like men tipping/lifting the hat.
Or, removing when talking to someone, even outdoors.
I completely agree - and it drives me crazy when I am out for a nice meal and women are wearing baseball caps. Thankfully, MOST men have the common sense to take it off.
