No, they wouldn't think twice about it. And on that note, why is Ennis OK about checking into a motel room with Jack for a night of hot sex, but gets nervous about being seen casually chatting in the driveway?

That was very impolite of Jack, considering all the rides Ennis had given him that summer. ... ;)

Well, now this is interesting... Jack does tip his hat to Alma. But, I agree. I also thought that cowboys were supposed to take their hats off inside. But, there are tons and tons of scenes where they wear their hats inside. In the bar at the beginning, Jack in the bar with Jimbo and with Lureen, the guys who are sitting in Lureens office and look out the window to make fun of Jack's lack-luster rodeo skills, and at the dance with LaShawn and Randall, etc. So, even at nice, "respectable" events like the dance where Jack meets Randall, all the men seem to wear their hats inside. I don't get it.

When you're drinking in a bar, the most convenient place for your hat is on your head. Trust me on this one.
It is a little surprising that they had their hats on at the charity dinner-dance, but I'm presuming there was no place to check them. It can be very difficult to keep a cowboy hat on your lap at the dinner table. Trust me on this one, too.
It was inexcusably rude of Jack not to take off his hat in the presence of Alma. He could have held it in front of his crotch. ...
Not to change the subject, but how did they transport all that camping gear away from the parking lot when they only had two riding horses?

I think the whole point was that Jack had arrived, he thought, for all time, and that Ennis hadn't giving "for all time" a thought. They already had arrangements to meet the following month...or did you mean, givien more leasure and the lack of the girlds, Ennis might have given Jack's permanent presernce in his life more considferation? I don't think so...not till after Jack was dead...
