Reply To: Always Wearing a Hat When Outdoors

Those among us who are 55 and older, probably remember that every clothing store had a men’s and women’s hat department. Frum or not, Jewish or not, there was a sense of honor and modesty that existed. Jackets and ties were always worn on plane trips. Many restaurants would not seat you without them.
Unfortunately we have lost a large percentage of that sense of kovod.
The Mishnah Berurah brings that the berachah of oteir Yisroel b’sifara is going on the hats we wear.
