So rival pub Trader Jacks has hit back with a sign saying: “We do not discriminate flat-cap wearers! Come on in. Clogs and whippets also welcome.” Danny Howell, 25, landlord at Trader Jacks, said: “We’ve had a lot of people moaning about it who come in. So my business partner Johny wrote on the window and everyone’s having a laugh about it.
“Someone told us to put clogs and whippets on too. It’s mainly because lots of places don’t allow caps any more.” Danny, who has been running the pub with his business partner Johny Flanagan, 25, for two months added: “Most of them in the pub are actually wearing flat caps. There’s one customer who comes in whose flat cap’s older than me.”
Gary Roberts, operations director at Amber Taverns, who own Pearsons, explained: “The main background is when any gentleman used to go into anyone’s home they normally remove their hat. It’s just something we’ve always done.” He added: “And if they don’t take their hats off, they won’t feel the benefit when they go outside!”

It's only polite to remove your hat indoors. I live over in Yorkshire where some still wear the traditional flat cap, but none would be so impolite as to wear it indoors.
The Lancastrians are an ill mannered bunch.
What about stovepipes? Where's the stovepipe love?
Here in SoCal it's baseball caps. Too many men leave them on in restaurants, etc.
