    Jock Scot has said that there are many pictures of gentalmen wearing flat caps and kilts together, but after the first world war, that stopped.

    I am afraid I have found that the flat cap looks wrong when worn with a kilt to the eyes of the Scots on the forum whether it was worn historically or not. I have sensed that it looks very wrong to them...

    Because of this, I have stopped wearing flat caps with the kilt.
