Wanted: Lovat green tweed Argyle-type jacket and waistcoat, 44S

[Canadian Vet]

Completely understanding your logic but the meaning is so specific that in Canada any suggestion that we are American will be widely and deeply unappreciated to say the least. ;)

WIDELY UNAPPRECIATED ...
A few years ago in Wales, I gently, politely let a Welsh person know referring to a Canadian as "American" was akin to calling him an Englishman.

that's pretty much the same as I heard it. (since there was a gap between the original and my reply, this is in fact about the pie for breakfast story)

With a big bald spot on the top of my head, hats are my friends.

[Jock Scot]

Though very much in the minority flat caps/newsboy caps/etc are seen in the old days.

(The vast majority of kilted men in old photos are wearing either Balmorals or Glengarries, the latter also being deemed unsuitable nowadays.)

I wouldn't know what to call the caps worn by the estate ghillies. I see caps like that called "Greek fishermen hats" "fiddler caps" and "skipper caps"

And don't those hats look awful! If any of you want to wear a flat cap with the kilt be my guest! If you want to poke fun at Jock about flat caps then carry on.............I can take it! All the enthusiasm for those dreadful things won't change my mind, or make you look sartorially splendid to my eye. The story of the " Emperor's New Clothes" springs to my mind, but you chaps carry on carrying on, wearing those awful things with the kilt! Whilst I and others politely laugh.
