The reference to placing a feather in your cap… which was generally accepted as a symbol of honor in the US (a custom learned from the Native Americans in many places). However, in contemporary London culture, it was more of a symbol of homosexuality.
Technically, it’s not the feather he is calling “Macaroni”, but calling the act of placing the feather in the hat “Macaroni”… as in “The stupid hick thinks that’s fashionable, but he just looks like a poof.”
