I don't think every element of dress, in every situation needs to fit the definition of traditional... unless one is trying to dress traditionally Some of our most ardent traditionalists, however, have advised us that common sense is also traditional.

Seeing as the sun tends not blaze in Scotland quite the same way as in Texas, there is no THCD "blazing sun hat." Finding a practical head covering for that situation that ALSO suits the kilt is the challenge. Something light, with a broad brim, but that doesn't have too much other cultural symbolism... if one would wear normally wear a Stetson, for example, I don't think it is necessarily the best choice to wear with the kilt
