...site isn’t very easy to use but if you use Google to search the fedora lounge you’ll do better. There are several existing threads on hat etiquette and hat storage, and I’ve included a couple links below.
I often leave my hat in my car when going to church or a restaurant etc. that does not...
...by purchasing 3 hats all in one go (Stetson sovereign 20 open road, Resistol explorer, and a Greely).
My question is, as tradition hat etiquette is to remove your hat indoors, I’m wondering what is the proper way of protecting your hat while out. What’s the best way to keep it while at work...
...time. There was no choice, false or otherwise, that I was wanting anyone to make. I’m saying if we all get to pick and chose the points of etiquette we want to keep and those we disregard then asking what the rule of etiquette is for a guy in short pants and a tee shirt removing his hat in a...
...more that it is best if everybody decides for themselves what is appropriate without a care for those around them. Many of the rules of etiquette have solid foundations in practicality and respect for others. Just because it's been lost to history and ignorance why doesn't mean it doesn't...
Respectfully, I disagree. We don’t live in a time with the rigid rules of etiquette that previous generations did. We also don’t live in a world where most restaurants offer a coat and hat check…at least not in the warmer climes where I live. If I’m wearing a hat, and my car is a mile away, and...
...or white collar workers wouldn’t consider wearing anything less than a suit to work. Sport coats were for sporting events and men’s etiquette called for ties or some sort of neckwear for fishing, shooting, golfing etc. Even blue collar workers wore suits to church and ties were not optional...
What are the current etiquette "rules" about wearing or not wearing a hat at funeral services? I know not to wear one in a church or when any ceremonies are being performed graveside, but what about the wake when everyone is just sort of milling about commiserating and telling stories about the...
Taking a hat off at the table - it’s just the way I was raised. I have yet to not find a place to put my hat. I have a little hanger that allows me to hang it on the back of my chair in most cases. While serving in the Marine Corps there were times when I was required to keep my cover (hat) on...
Agreed, Joe. Churches, weddings and funerals seem to be the last venues where hat etiquette is sometimes scrutinized here in the U.S. Otherwise, wear your hats and be proud of it...indoors, outdoors, daylight or dark!
I don’t disagree with you at all.
Perhaps I worded my post poorly, but people eating in public while wearing a baseball cap strike me as rude. I am very much an antique, my grandparents were born in the 1880s and my parents before 1910. I was a little boy during the late 1930s. I don’t...
So terribly sorry for your loss, Al.
I can only reiterate what others have said about the hat choice. I can’t imagine anyone being upset at your choice.
...However you feel comfortable.
You will find there are folks (mostly online) who can be very staunch in what they deem to be the proper etiquette. In practice the rules of hat etiquette change with culture and time. We seem to be in a time and place as far as hat wearing where most...
Quick anecdote about hat etiquette: as you do in Barcelona, my friend and I went to La Sagrada Familia this summer. They have airport-like security with metal detectors and xray for bags. On the way in, on the wall there was a pictograph sign of a hat coming off a head. I pretty much expected...
I am sorry for your loss Al. I think I’d be with Bowen on this. The most recent funeral I attended the gentleman who had passed often commented and asked about my hats. So I chose one I knew he would have appreciated and pulled it off or layed it on a table at times I felt appropriate.
Again Al, my deepest sympathies for your loss.
Probably the hardest question one could answer here on the lounge.
I’d say, follow your heart Al. Do what you think she would say for you to do. That would honor her and i think she would be at peace with that.
I hope you will be as well.
Thank you...
