Balmoral with saxon clothes

[KnittedReenactor]

I tend to go hatted most times, usually some form of ball cap, or wide brimmed if I will be in the sun for a long time. This year, most of the time I have been kilted I took my Tilley.
I actually am wearing my newly made Tam today with jeans. Needed to beat some use into it. I really haven't worn a beret-type cover except for my old red Boy Scout beret that was passed down to me, and that was only with a scouting uniform.
From a practical standpoint, I have to disagree and state the modern balmoral or tam is not a good cold weather cap. In areas that experience below freezing or snowy winters it just doesn't work. It is very important to protect the ears from the cold. A large portion of the body's heat is lost through the head, specifically the ears. Additionally it is uncomfortable and risks the ears to frostbite. A good knit stocking cap or, better yet, a fur lined trapper will do you very well with t******s or kilt. Those living outside the outside the real winter areas can get away with not covering their ears, I can't.
A balmoral will work well in saxon wear. If someone could wear a beret with it, you can do better with a balmoral. A nicely assembled suit would look smashing with a properly jocked balmoral!
