Hat Etiquette

[Pelado]

Yeah, as I was putting together that list those two items, plus church, stood out the most to me as where I would probably take off my hat, if I was a hat wearer, which I'm not.

I would include during church services, but not simply entering into a church building.

Those look like normal hats

Sounds like something a dad would say.

I agree with your general conclusion, but have bolded a couple areas where I think hat etiquette is still relevant.

Definitely during the National Anthem!

At least someone got the joke.

I do not like soft floppy baseball hats mostly because they are not deep enough and don’t securely fit my head. The bill can be flat or have a slight natural bend but the most important quality for me is the deepness of the actual hat portion regardless of the bill type.

I have never caught on to the flat bill thing. Back in my Little League days (it was called The Great Society for a reason), we worked on getting the perfect arch in the bill, which I still endorse. Old guys like me with the flat bill look wrong to me.

Anyone over 40 (and half the people under 40) wearing a flat bill hat looks like a huge dork.

This is what people who can't pull off a flat bill say.

Ha. This is actually true. I don't love the flatbill, but some of these hats are built like tanks these days, so you have no real choice.

I made turning a new, rigid, 100% wool New Era 5950 into a fitted, curved-bill masterpiece in a month's time in the 90s and early 2000s, and then New Era switched to the synthetic material. It takes me three years to get a 5950 sufficiently worn in, so I'm forced to use a flat-ish bill cap for 12-18 months.

I only wear a hat when I’m outside in the sun for a while. And I only wear one because my hair is thin enough on top that my scalp will get sunburnt without it.
