Some funny stuff on here, or maybe just goofy.
Hat on daily in the winter, sometimes on, sometimes not in the summer.
Take it off during prayer at meals, or anywhere or time else that deserves respect....church, National Anthem, funerals, the list goes on.
Beyond that it's my choice what I'm comfortable in and what I'm not. You might prefer cowboy boots, I might prefer gore tex boots or sneakers that day. Either way doesn't make you or I better. It's all the same argument. I sure as heck am not taking my hat off to walk through Walmart or Bass Pro wondering if I'm offending somebody.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

this is what you should do :

P. Damn. Just, damn. I miss the Sopranos. I miss James Gandolfini. But as to the OP question: a gentleman's hat comes off when he enters a house (unless he is on official business, ahem...), and when he enters a private/personal office. In the public areas of a public building or a place of business, the hat stays on. It comes off at the threshold of a church, stays on in a synagogue; comes off at the dining table of a restaurant, but MAY stay on at the lunch counter. This latter is traditionally due to the fact that there isn't a safe place to put one's hat down at the lunch counter, so one might get ketchup spilled on it by a clumsy fellow diner. A man has to take care of his hat.

BTW, I am in Chicago this week visiting my daughter. I left my Stetson back in Texas as it's not easy to take on a plane. I should have persisted. This cold rain is nasty on one's head. I have a hooded rain jacket, but it blocks peripheral vision and reduces hearing, which makes me nervous about my six.
There is nothing like a good brimmed hat in the rain.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Since removing ones hat is Manners 101:
A. The guy never learned, or wasn't raised in a culture where manners are important. That tells me something.
B. The guy learned, but doesn't care. That tells me something.
C. The guy learned, but is openly disrespectful. That tells me something.
D. There's a good chance the guy is bald and cares too much for his looks. That tells me something.

Mine comes off for the National Anthem, the Flag, usually meals, and to sleep. What about sex? No thanks. I'm straight. I was waiting for something like that!!!

No hats indoors was the rule growing up. Nowadays I think it possibly acceptable. Not in restaurants, churches or other people's houses. But at the Lowes/Menards or deer check in? I'm cool widit.
Baseball caps have never been part of my casual dress.
Hell, I think I'd tolerate people wearing ball caps every freakin' place..........if they quit dragging around their damn water bottles or coffee.

What pisses me off is someone lecturing me on where and when I can wear my hat...

Something I noticed doing the Knifemakers Guild Show in Kansas City as well as the little Rock knife show a few years ago is that all you get to see of most of the guys is the top of their hat. I talked with one guy for ten minutes about a knife and all I can say about how he looked is that he needed to dust off the top of his hat...It didn't take me long to realize that I don't care much for talking to the top of a hat.

It really is sad how far we slipped in our standards regarding what is acceptable in this country from the days of yore.... So sad to see those young ladies in the bottom pic have forgotten their bathing caps. What's the world coming to? These young people, they'll be the death of the Nation, maybe the world. Geno

When walking on a sidewalk with the wife, I'm always on the traffic side too.
There are just lots of things I think men should do. I still don't understand men wearing ball caps as their normal, go out attire.
I bet some of you don't even take the dishes out of the sink before you piss. Walking with wife: mostly the same as above, but we don't have sidewalks where we live so it isn't pertinent often. Normal go out attire: Head covered, ball cap, Stormy Kromer, Greek fisherman's cap, fedora, Borsalino, "cowboy" hat, Bandana, Dew rags, welders cap, fig leaf. Doesn't matter, I'd just as soon go out without pants on as go without a head covering in public. Dishes in the sink: NEVER......... they go in the toilet, coupla flushes and they's good to go ......for guests at least. Geno PS, I'm staying at a friend's place for a few days and he requests I take my hat off at the table..... I do. He is not required to do so at my table..... he does PPS, where is this "etiquette" thread I've seen mentioned?

And if you REALLY want to irritate me, wear a ball cap backwards and with your sunglasses on top. AND sit in the sun then use your hands to shade your eyes. Disturbing to me . . .
