Me Hat

[Jock Scot]

Ok I am not wanting to start up a bush fire here-----maybe I should stop now-----but as you are wearing the kilt and you are quite right in saying that the glengarry is useless for weather protection(its useless anyway) and the balmoral is not much better in really heavy weather, its pretty good as an alrounder though, then the good old tweed fore & aft, or the slightly more flamboyant Deerstalker is perfect for the job. We in Scotland do have our share of weather too, although not the extremes that you chaps over there seem to get.

Now, in all seriousness (no I am not wanting to stir up a hornets nest, so please no hornets!) and with the greatest respect to every one's personal choice; just what is the attraction of the flat cap when worn with the kilt? Flat caps a fine when worn with other forms of attire that is for sure, but to my eyes they make the whole "kilt look" all wrong, particularly with those very modern "cheese cutter" things that have barely enough cloth to cover an egg, never mind a head. In all honesty I would much prefer to see you chaps wearing -----SIT DOWN EVERY ONE-------a "John Deere" type hat, rather than a flat cap! Each to their own.
