After all, this thread was posted in the Modern Kilt Wear section of the forum, so it may be time for our dear friend Jock to take his John Deere hat and retire back to the safe confines of the Traditional Kilt Wear section, as I doubt he will find many sympathetics or converts in these environs. ;)
To be honest I try to be somewhat traditional, and do have a collection of a few different bonnets---glens, bals, and tams in several colors----but it is far outnumbered by those in my collection of wool flat caps in a variety of tweeds, felted wool, tartan, and other fabrics. I also have a couple fedoras, ball/golf caps, various fishing hats, ski/snowboarding hats---but would probably personally not see myself wearing them with the kilt in any but exceptional circumstances, as to me those do not look good with a kilt. I have yet to obtain a pith helmet, and my old beat up panama is now relegated to the pool lounger, not for general public consumption.
As others have stated for some of us a hat is a near necessity in the sunny summer months, unless we slather our pates with SPF 50. But for me, and I think most who wear hats do so becasue they like the look, regardless of what they are wearing it with.
Just for you Jock. Long live flat caps.
