No, some are from the late 1950's and early 1960's. I can well remember when my Mom was refused entry to a restaurant on Long Island because she was wearing slacks. I have posted on a similar thread that I quickly learned to remove my hat indoors when in the Army, so I am one of those that removes his hat when inside. I just don't think that a man who keeps his hat on in a restaurant is a "crude lout". I long ago gave up the position of "general manager of the universe", and personally know some smart, kind, giving men who don't always remove their hats, and I prefer to judge them by those qualities.
