The only time I ever wore a hat at the table, especially when eating out, was in Texas where I was wearing a cowboy hat. I went into a restaurant where there were about 40 people, mostly men, and all of the men were wearing cowboy hats at the table. There was no place to hang hats in the room.
I wore my hat throughout the meal. When in Texas, do as the Texans do.  |
As Burt Reynolds said in Smokey and the Bandit, " I only take my hat (cowboy hat) off for one thing". Actually there is one more reason a Cowboy hat is not removed. A good 7x beaver can cost upward of $250.00. They must hang on a rack or placed upside down on a flat surface or otherwise they will lose their shape. By the way, it is still good manners to remove your Cowboy hat but this is why most don't.
