Do you set your hat down with the crown up or crown down? I’ve always read it is correct to place your hat with the crown down, but when I do people always start throwing loose change in it.

Restaurants remain the biggest challenge. I have found that the maitre'd or waiter may have an out of the way place and will gladly store it for me. More casual places become more of a challenge, but I can usually find a window ledge, or someplace to keep it.
I wear a couple of Stetson crushables. If they get mashed, they bounce back.Myself, I've had over two dozen Mohs surgeries and countless biopsies over the years. I always wear some type of headgear to protect my bald head. I would prefer a much wider brimmed hat but cars and restaurants are no longer designed for such head gear. If I wear a flat cap I can roll it and stuff it in my pocket when dining.
I’ve heard both, but I always sit it down crown down. I’ll take their money if they throw it in. So far that hasn’t happened.Do you set your hat down with the crown up or crown down?

I learned that lesson at my Grandma's table. Heck, her whole house actually! She had eyes like laser beams!My sisters ex-husband had that same issue. My Mother did not hold in her temper. You just do not wear a hat at her table.
Some of it still thereI do the hat removal in private spaces, but have never tipped or doffed, unless using it as an object to wave to someone some distance away. Knights haven't been around here for a few centuries, so any associations with lifting visors or removing helmets has been lost.
As for putting a hat down, I'll typically put it brim down, unless using it as a receptacle for dumping other stuff in, such as glasses case, or smoking tackle.
Ladies have a whole different set of rules for hats.So all the ladies around the pool using a sun hat are rude?
And the guy wearing a Mexican sombrero in front of you inside the tour bus is not?
How odd
The rest makes sense though
You could extend holy places for some countries to the entire grounds. But they are used to tourists who either remove their hat going inside or they remember those who forget kindly.
Impolitely word for a female doing not so smart things in Dutch is a muts which can be translated to a cap…Ladies have a whole different set of rules for hats.
The only time I will turn a cap around is when I’m using my camera. The bill gets in the way.Rarely wear a hat, sometimes if we are out walking and it's clear I will wear one, being a bit thin on top but I'm not a hat fan. I always feel sorry for the poor saps with baseball caps on backwards, how can you not figure out how a hat works?
The ones that really confused me was when visors were big in the late 90s. I'd see guys wear a visor backwards AND upside down. I always wondered if they were trying to catch rain....Rarely wear a hat, sometimes if we are out walking and it's clear I will wear one, being a bit thin on top but I'm not a hat fan.

Einstein's Relativity Theory as it Relates to Hats — I was napping during that lecture in school so I'm rusty.When on an aircraft, you’re certainly moving. But I would treat it as a private space.
