Why do men have to take their hats off?

Answer 1

In the middle ages when garbage and waste was thrown out the window the men would walk on the outside of the pathway with very large hats and the hats would catch whatever would be thrown out of the window so it would not land on the lady they were walking with and so when they went inside they would take their hats off and dump everything out.

Removing one's hat has been a sign of respect since medieval times. It began by removing the hat in church to show respect for God.

Answer 2

Most men don't do it theses days but the main reason is to show themselves as proper or strong. It just makes them seem manly. They want to seem like James Bond (007) with his gentlemen acts that make him a kind and tough man at the same time. But like I said, nobody does that these days and they wear beanies these days, not hats.

Answer 3

Doffing hats/caps was always the polite thing to do.

It stems from that fact that a lady ran a house, and a gentleman doffed his hat/cap to shield his eyes from the lady's dazzling beauty.

In the UK the social rule I learnt at school was to take off your hat/cap when going into any building, be it secular or religious with the exception of a shop.
