| During the Victorian era, the bowler hat became a sort of badge of respectability, of being part of the middle class. |
n
nHatsncan give protection from the sun, and they can keep you warm in coldnweather. They can keep rain and snow out of your hair, and they cannidentify you as a member of a particular club, religion, or socialngroup. Of course, hats can make a fashion statement.
n
n
n
n
n
nNotnall hats are equal at doing all of these things, of course!

nDonpeople still follow hat rules? Back in the day, men would tip theirnhats as a sign of respect when they met a woman or an older man;nnobody wore hats indoors, at an eating table, or during funeralnprocessions; and people removed hats during the playing of thenNational Anthem or while the national flag is passed. I have anfeeling that a whole lot of people break many or most of those rules,nthese days.
