Reviving to say - this is true for small hats, but what about larger hats like women's fedoras and sun hats (assuming they're pretty enough to leave on). Same?

my ladies' tea guild had a Titanic themed event which included a nickelodeon show. Those of us in truly titanic hats chose to sit in the back row. It truly is not pretty what a hat of that size will do to a gibson girl updo.kabuto said:In a movie or other theater, I'd remove it -- or sit in the back row.

Since we are not living in an era or culture where hat wearing is the norm, society no longer enforces the old rules, and there were lots of hat rules which came and vanished. The very act of wearing a hat -- anywhere -- can be seen as a rebellious act today. Individuals who remember the hat wearing rules of a former era in their own culture might try to impose them on other hat wearers of the world today, but it is fruitless.
If an eatery has no place for me to put my hat, then I'll keep it on my head. And most people don't even care.
And I have also learned that you tell a woman what to do at your own peril
