But as the old saying goes: Boys wear caps, MEN wear hats.
As to the wearing of hats and caps in the ¨Golden Era¨:
When in a correct suit about town this was true (more so for the middle class and above), but for a suit, combination or outfit that was more sporty or workwear a flat-cap was very appropriate regardless of age or status. Plenty men also wore caps for normal suits.
