    If you're not a big fan of them, then fine. I'm really not a big devotee of them myself, although I do own several caps that I do wear in very casual circumstances. But that hardly makes me less than a gentleman.

    I would argue that, because you DO know the time and place to wear one, it makes you MORE of a gentleman.

    I am not personally a fan of the baseball cap, nor any other head-wear. I just don't have a 'hat head'. I'll start wearing hats when I go bald

    (Finally!) Back to the topic. Nobody in their right mind can say that a baseball cap is Traditional Highland wear, and apart from a brief fad early in the last century, the flat cap falls into the same category.

    I cannot imagine having the brass ones to tell a forum of actual Highlanders who have worn the kilt all their lives what is, or isn't Traditional Highland wear.

    And cajunscot, you are correct. I was too sweeping in my generalization (or perhaps, not specific enough in my criticism). My apologies once more.
