Flatcaps and kilts....
So really, what's the big deal? Yes, I do realize that I'm a newbie but I think flatcaps are so groovy and look great with just about anything. I'll even wear my flatcap after I get out of the shower and wrap my towel around me. I tell you, now THAT is a smart look! (okay, maybe that last part was a joke... )

What it basically boils down to is this: flat caps are not normally worn with kilts, so the traditionalists basically say "That just isn't done."
The non-traditionalists basically say "I can wear whatever I want with my kilt."
Bottom line is that both sides are right. You CAN wear anything you want with a kilt, BUT, if you're trying to do it the way the traditionalists do, you won't wear a flat cap with your kilt.

That does it. I'm buying such a cap AND wearing it with my kilts. Once enough of us do so for long enough, it'll be traditional or even required.

When I marry Princess Beatrice I will wear a flat cap. Until then,
NO WAY
