Mr Rumbold reminds Captain Peacock that Grace Brothers dress code specifies that bowler hats are for upper management executive employees such as himself, while lower and middle management like Peacock (and Mr Grainger) may wear homburgs while junior employees like Mr Lucas and Mr Humphries are to wear trilby style hats or brimmed caps. This rule was also mentioned in "The Hand of Fate" when Mr Humphries reads his palm and sees Captain Peacock wearing a new hat, which Mr Lucas interprets as his being promoted and wearing a "stupid-looking bowler". Yet the first season show "His and Hers", Peacock is shown wearing a bowler without any comment from Rumbold.
