why did evans not take off his hat when jackson ordered him to do so?

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Evans did not take off his hat when Jackson asked him to do so because he reasoned that it was the only thing he had ever brought with him as a sort of lucky charm for his examination. However, the real reason was that he wanted to cut his hair and hide it while making his escape. It was bad luck when Jackson pinched his scissors because it had meant a long and tricky operation with the only razor blade he possessed. If Jackson had made him take off his bobble hat then the game would have been up.

he said that the hat was his lucky charm and jackson being a passionate one agreed to it. evans had hid all the makeup material which would be helpful in transforming into mccleery and therefore was important to him.

Evans hesitated to take off  his hat because he had very carefully shoven his hair( in short had a haircut) with a razor. Eventually he convinced Jackson that the hat was his lucky charm and he would need it during the examination. Evans had done the haircut in order to impersonate as 'Mcleery' to escape from the prison and thus it was necessary to hide his hair with a hat.
