hat to wear
I do not have a balmoral nor will I be able to get one by the games I am attending, so which hat/cap do you think is best. I will be wearing a small-pattern houndstooth braemar. This is a hanna hats donegal tweed flat capimages (2).jpg this is a Harris tweed trilby/fedora which I call my siegfried hat images (4).jpg just to be clear I do not own the hat used by Robert hardy I just used a stock photo. The hat is nearly exactly the same though.

I've worn a flat cap with my kilt but be warned there are those who frown upon this practice .

My daily hat preference (usually while trousered) is a flat cap, I've got a couple dozen of them and love the fit and look, I say wear one if you like, many people here have a thing against them, but regarding other things will say the kilt is a free dress and there are no kilt police.
Do as you like good sir!

To tell you the truth I don't see why anyone has anything against them as they were worn in scotland and at a time they were mandatory for all men to wear.

A tweed bucket hat is always a good choice!
Don't you agree Jock Scot? (Especially if the alternative is a flat cap!)

Well, I certainly do agree with you Jamie, that a "bucket" hat is a slightly better choice than a flat cap when worn with the kilt.

If it were a solid tweed flatcap I would consider it. In this instance, bucket hat.
Try a fore-and-aft hat if you have the opportunity.
For the record, I occasionally wear my Donegal tweed flatcap.

Now that I think about it the donegal isn't very appropriate as most games/festivals are day-wear situations right? The "bucket" hat is harris tweed as well so I think it will go well. Thanks for your suggestions.

I just bought this in black for a good all around hat to wear with my kilt. I slant it towards the front and put a clan badge on the side:
