Where to wear the Glengarry??

Going back to the original question (and I know I'm not going to win any friends here), my response in you should only wear it if your job entails asking,"Do you want fries with that?". I felt the same way about the stupid garrison cap I had to wear in the army as well. I just don't like the look.

Thanks for the steer back onto the topic - and I'll agree with your comment on the garrison cap! NOT my favorite cap!

When I’m in doubt or have a question in regards to a matter of etiquette I always refer to Miss Manners as the ultimate authority, but then again I am prone to some Victorian tendencies. I imagine that how and where we are raised shapes our views on such matters of what constitutes good manners and courtesy. As an American and hat lover I would wear one in doors as much as I would fail to doff it in the presence of a Lady, which is too say, never.

As arrogcow, noted getting back to the actual question asked …

I thought glengarries were really comical looking in the catalogues, but then I saw them being worn in person at a Highland Games. My mind changed and I thought they looked really smart. I think that they take a little more flair to pull off than a balmoral. I bought my black glengarry with white and red dicing and a red torrie from Sportkilt. I decorated it with a lovely “Neveren” brooch from the Celtic Croft and I think it’s smashing. Each to their own.
