Personally, I'm with the native Scots here- no hat looks good with black tie attire. However, given the fact that in Denver, it get's rather cold and windy, it would be foolish to let fashion dictate to common sense. I'd say a Balmoral would be acceptable, but to beat the dead horse a little more... Eh, never mind.

Yes, it is sad, but the new NASCAR culture that is challenging good manners of all sorts has set a new social norm of hats indoors in the US. US Army wear of hats in formal attire was optional, mostly due to the proper protocal of formal attire, However, if you need to wear a hat with your PC, the balmoral would be the choice.

No hat whatsoever at any stage. as far salmond the pic is when he was in america pushing "tartan day" some might suggest that the hat is entirely appropriate for him.

I, too, think very little of it.

I know of only one anomaly in the application of the "no cover indoors" rule: a hotel lobby is not indoors. But this may be a custom that has died since the mid-20th century. (" . . . more honored in the breach than th' observance . . .")

All the Midwesterners in my family were raised (myself included) to always remove your hat indoors.
