A "fore 'n aft" and the "deer stalker"(with the ear flaps) are very traditional when worn with the kilt for informal events and would fit your wish for having a brim. You need to be aware that one merchant's "fore 'n aft" could be another merchant's "deer stalker" and another merchant's "deer stalker" could be a "Sherlock Holmes" so be careful if you are ordering a new bonnet you may not get what you think you are getting.

Inverness capes are rarely worn by anyone in Scotland these days, silly really as they are perfect to cope with some of our weather, except for members of pipe bands.
