Modern restaurants — and even churches == have no place for a man’s hat. A man must remove his hat to eat, or in church — unless he’s a Texan. There are no hat racks, or little clips on the backs of the pew, anymore. So, what do you do with it indoors?
God gave me a lap for temporary storage of both of my hats, in Church. In a restaurant, a vacant chair/table will do; otherwise, next to my chair:

I have a full head of hair at 62, too. How long that’ll last is anyone’s guess. LOL.
We have the little clips on the back of our pews. Of course the pews have been there for about 80 years. Removed and partly refinished when the floor was redone but the same massive oak pews from the early 20thc.
