WTF. I never once heard of anything like a "hanky code" in my life. I have carried a plain white hanky in my rear/left jeans pocket for as long as I can recall. This explains a couple uncomfortable and puzzling situations in my life. For crying out loud. Well I'll be sure to carry my hanky some other way now. Of all possible things. Hanky code. Jesus. Perhaps that's the real ME at play here. A pocket and a man's damn hanky used to be just that.
The red baseball cap stuffed into his back pocket belonged to his old pal Lance Larson from New Jersey. When Larson’s father died, he gave Bruce his dad’s favorite red baseball cap. Springsteen decided to wear it on the cover of Born in the USA in tribute. He told Larson that his father would always live on in music history. How right he was.

If nothing else, I learned a little bit of trivia from this.
The red baseball cap stuffed into his back pocket belonged to his old pal Lance Larson from New Jersey. When Larson’s father died, he gave Bruce his dad’s favorite red baseball cap.

...and that since Bruce wore a bandana during performances, people figure he also had one in his back pocket for the album cover.
