Another one for Jock Scot

[Bugbear]

Jock,

I like my balmorals but I have been looking for options that offer shade.

You see here in California we do have this strange object in the sky. It is a great bright orange ball that we call it "The Sun" (you may have read about it). Anyway it casts forms of energy called "light" and "heat" down on us. This is similar to what your fireplaces in Scotland produce but they surround us when we walk outside. Thus we need to actually try to block some of this energy from our eyes and face. I shall save explaining the concept of "sunburn" for another day.



Again, I appreciate your feedback. I thought I was on the right track. It is still a very nice hat and I think it will still be a good option for cool Fall days.

It looks like I shall have to still order that brown tweed deerstalker!

Cheers

Jamie

Yes, Panache, the deerstalker or fore and aft appear to be the only options we have. Though, I am still not clear on whether those two can be worn with dressy outfits or not.

Jamie and Ted,you mischievious souls, I do recall the sun when in Western Australia and have to admit that my enthusiasm for it waned after a short while. I think the best sun hat to go with the kilt is a Panama, or, your topee(not a hairpiece!) Jamie.I don't think anyone would suggest that a deerstalker, or, fore and aft is anything other than informal attire.

Jock,

I grew up near Santa Cruz California, a mecca of surfing. With my pale skin and love of tweed jackets and sweaters I always envied people that lived in less sunny climes.

Cheers
