Out of RespectIt began with men of 'lesser rank' removing whatever headress or coronet (crown) they had on to show that they were not trying to challenge or be disrespectful to the king or cheiftan of their country. The first man to not do this was "handed his hat."

Is it impolite for a guy to wear a cap in the house?

Obviously this would depend culturally on where a person was as things are different everywhere. At face value, it is technically considered impolite to wear a hat while indoors but there are many exceptions such as a yarmulke for example or a ladies hat inside a church (A church-crown).Outside of the traditional concept of it being impolite which dates back decades if not centuries when it was common for all men to wear hats, there is the modern interpretation that wearing a hat has little or no bearing towards politeness as all men nowadays do not wear hats. Logic dictates that the type and quality of the hat would contribute to the overall level of dress for an individual so that if a person were wearing say, a baseball hat with the logo of their favorite team at a formal dinner, it would be out of context. If it is a casual gathering of friends then wearing a hat should be of no importance.I imagine this may relate to some variety of family dynamic or age difference in the interpretation of the meaning of wearing a hat indoors. If someone has gone through the effort to make something nice, a family dinner for example, it could be considered rude, any other time in the modern world, it means little though it may be observed as rude by those who come from a time when the gesture of wearing a hat indoors was considered impolite. As with most actions a person takes they should be away how others may interpret those actions. Wearing a hat indoors is not at face value rude in 2010+ but the context in which you are wearing the hat indoors may in fact be rude.


Is it customary to wear a hat at an American wedding?

The normal custom is that hats are only worn outdoors, and since weddings are normally held indoors, people will not be wearing hats. Some exceptions exist, for example, in a wedding of orthodox Jews, the men will be wearing the skullcap or kipa which they are religiously required to wear all the time. Sikhs always wear their turbans. Christians, however, have no religious obligation to wear hats.
