@Rahul G Racism was common everywhere back then, racism doesn't have much to do with respect because it was a common occurrence people believed to be normal/right.

[@wintersfrosthester6711]

[@ScorpionRegent]

In situations where problems can escalate to lethal force, good manners aren't formalities, they're survival skills. If life is cheap, all you might need to save it is a well placed, "Excuse me". That might be considered a bargain.

Excellent topic and video! I'm sad that society has given up so much of this. Also, it bothers me when someone touches my hat when I'm wearing it, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. That was a nice tribute at the end. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Guns Of The West I haven't gone so far as to pull my hogleg when someone touches my hat, i figure it's mostly ignorance on their part, but unsheathing my knife has Always got their attention. An occasional hurt feeling ( mostly thru embarrasment on their part ) but my feelings were hurt, too. And so far the same mis-action has not been repeated. And after all, that's what my action strived for. The old expression " Keep your hands to yourself" still applies, if you enforce it ...

[@DontbelatefordinnerBelle]

I've heard, " I tip my hat to you.", and " I've taken my hat off to you." Now these saying mean so much more. Thank you for your information. I didn't know about the curse, or how to get rid of the curse. Thanks friend. Belle.

Yeah, it's just not seen often because we don't wear hats as much as our forefathers did.

Arizona Ghostriders Most of us don't wear hats as much. I have a feeling you might wear one more than the average person.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Normally I would agree with you. However, here in AZ I see a lot of folks wearing hats. Ball caps, pork-pies, cabbie.newsboy type hats. Of course, a good number of cowboy hats. Maybe they are making a comeback.

Did you know that the knight lifted the face plate or visor on his helmet with his right hand is where the modern salute comes from. The same for the hand shake , when someone extended their right hand to show they were not holding a weapon and that they came in peace. As today most people are right handed.

[@jasongcrow5313]

most accurate video ive seen on hat etiquette. as a mississippi boy that just spent 6 months in sunny sydney australia, ppl were always confused as to when and why i took my cowboy hat off or didnt. some even asking me if i slept in a hat and boots, which i have quite a few times, a duster makes a good portable bed lol. and a rolled up vest for a pillow

[@bobhartman2571]

Didn't know that!! Thanks Santee. Didn't notice this on the first viewing, but the Ghost tipped his hat with the left thump and fore finger instead of his right thumb and fore finger.

[@bigblue6917]

A long time ago it was customary in the British army for a soldier to raise his hat to an officer to greet him. He, in turn, would raise his hat in acknowledgement of that greeting and to return the greeting. The problem was that this happened so frequently the brim of the hat would become warn and damaged. So the salute was introduced to replace the raising of the hat.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks for the additional info. Seems there are a couple reasons for the salute origin then.

[@bernardflood8289]

Greetings from Ireland. Over here in the Catholic church in the olden day's men would take their hat's off, that is still observed although men typically don't wear hat's over here any more, I feel like the only one that does. Women on the other hand were required to wear a hat, scarf or something to cover their head. Men had to sit on one side of the isle and women on the other, I guess that stopped any distractions.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Interesting info, Bernard. Thanks for that and for watching....and keep wearing hats!

[@bodgerdavesumner]

In Canada too. Men - hats off inside any building like a church, school, business, court room. I can remember in the early '60s being on vacation. My Dad wanted to go to church, but Mom would not. She had not packed a hat.

[@thunderheads4103]

I started wearing my hat a year ago when i started working outside. I was surprised at watching this, how much came natural to me. I wasn't raised in the west, meaning Arizona but spent a lot of time growing up in South Texas where the old punchers were. They used to run thr cattle through my uncles neighborhood back in the days of driving up from Texas to Canada and Back to the Union Stock Yards. Well, I take my hat off in a place of respect or where women are. In stores that is an exception but I do tip my hat when acknowledging women. I take it off at grace but I also leave it on when I am faced with a person whom I view as one who does not deserve my respect. I will take my hat off if I am in the presence of the owner of my company but my boss I will not. I am not so touchy about others touching my hat aside from having to move it if it is in the seat of the truck or so on, but I won't let anyone wear it or mess with it. Not like Dirty Dan

I was lucky enough to have a grandfather who lived during the dying ages of the "west" and the Victorian era. He was born in 1898. When I was three or four in the early 90s him and my mom took me to a Tractor Supply Store while I was wearing a ball cap. I was papaw's favorite and could do no wrong, but when I stepped through the front doors of that store, that hat got snatched like lightning off my head by papaw. "Gentlemen don't wear their hats indoors." I still take my hat off when I go inside places all these years later.

Arizona Ghostriders - Hat's off to you for this video. Always good to learn stuff. Donning and doffing, I didn't know that. I knew that the salute evolved from men at arms raising their visors to show their faces. It follows that tipping the hat would come from that. Shaking hands was a mutual agreement to leave weapons aside. I also knew that a hat on the bed was a invitation for Murphy to visit, just didn't know it was something that was around in the old west. Is it acceptable to hang a hat on a bed post or is that courtin' trouble too? Thanks guys!

Hat on a bedpost doesn' thave any bad juju, I believe

[@MattDeckard]

Actually Beetle Shellack was used in western hats to keep them stiff. Some city hats as well. It was added during the felting process. There was a big battle between Stetson and Resistol back when the Stetson factory shut down and Stetson which was a softer western hat became stiffer as they switched their factory to make hats more accommodated to the rodeo world. I know because I was their creative director and archived a lot of Stetson's history.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank you, Matt, for adding that piece of Beetle Shellack and Stetson history. Even though this was a video about hat etiquette, it is great to hear about your research at Stetson!

Did I do it when I renamed my boat you ask?? OF COURSE I DID !!! :-) ha ha ha and since my boat was really old, I spent $100 on the champagne. I am the very definition of rube :-) (although in my defense, my wife and I did steal a half glass each for ourselves!!

What if two men greet each other? Do you only tip a hat to a lady (or doff if you speak with her), or would a man ever do it as a polite gesture to another man? (I've read conflicting sources on this. Some say a guy never tips or doffs to another male. Some say a man doesn't doff when passing or speaking to another man, but he might tip his hat slightly to say, "Hello," "Thank you," "You're welcome," or "Goodbye.")

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

This may or may not be true but it would make sense considering how valuable a good hat was: I've heard that a big reason for leaving your hat on in a saloon or other public place where one might spend a decent amount of time, is because a hat left on a table or anywhere out of sight could quickly become a stolen hat.

You might have mentioned that when a man met another man, IF the one man was a lot older, the younger would touch the brim of his hat with his fore finger. He could slightly bend the brim if he felt inferor to the other man. If one man told another to do something, the other might touch the brim of his hat with his fore finger as kind of a salute, and/or a sign that he would do what was asked of him. Men could just casually touch the brim of their hats with their forefingers just in passing each other with nothing ment to it than a slight show of respect

I read that out West men didn't acknowledge other men by touching the hats (that was for women). They just nodded. This was verified by a couple old Arizonans I know. However, glad to have the input.

Never ever tip, doff or remove your hat in deference to another man! Women only.
