I was waitin' for Jock to jump into the fray on this thread, and there he comes right on cue and right on "his" point. Jock, no one is arguing your feelings about the flat cap with the kilt, only their own. You have already said you would rather see the kilt worn with a "John Deere" style ball cap than with a flat cap, but on this side of the pond we would be just as aghast at that sight as you would be at the flat cap one. Different strokes for different folks. And I fear Jock that you will never understand that difference, and that is okay. We are, despite our heritage, different peoples molded from our different experiences and living in different social environments.

Long live the flatcap. And any flat cap wearers, join us in the social group "Flat Cap Confederation", started by Zardoz, our current king of flat caps.

Love your spirit and your style Jock, just don't always agree with it my dear friend.
