    Clan Badge Wear

    Gents

    What are your thoughts on wearing a clan badge on the side of a tweed flat cap for casual wear?

    How does it look in the mirror? If you like the look, do it. The only opinion that matters is yours.

    I've seen it done, but it looks oddly out of place.

    What, exactly, is that supposed to mean?

    I agree. Best to leave the clan badge for a Balmoral or Glengarry style of bonnet.

    Cheers all. I appreciate the input. I've decided not to wear the clan badge with my tweed flat cap. Perhaps I can find a miniature that would look better.

    Or some sort of a Celtic brooch of an interesting design (I'm thinking Charles Rennie Mackintosh), may look rather smart with the tweed cap.
