It is never polite for men to wear hats inside, while seated. (Standing in a bank line, that's okay.) It is, however, polite for women to do so, usually because traditionally their hats were ... intricate and not easily set aside. Big hats in movies or other audience oriented venues are rude as well, though.
I've worn a hat for a long time now, and it's disturbing how rude most people are about them.
