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.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
