Ghillie Hat

**TheOfficialBren** · 10th January 13, 06:33 AM

I plan on getting a 'real' kilt very soon. I want the opinion of the rabble on something.

What do you chaps think of ghillie hats worn with the kilt? I imagine that they were in vogue during the Victorian period (#Ghillies/hunting/outdoorsmen/et al) but could it be pulled off today?

Thanks for the input.

Yes a ghillie / deerstalker / fore and aft would be just fine with tweed day wear both kilted and tr@usered on this side of the pond.

Absolutely fine. I wear one and I really like it.

I rather like the look, myself. I'll wait to "pull it off" when I am older, though.

I'd not heard of that style of hat before. Searching Google for "ghillie hat" made me think you were looking for one of these:

I figured it out eventually, though.

Hahaha! That's funny, Llama. BTW, congratulations on your recent wedding. I wish you a lifetime of joy.

Does anyone have any kilted ghillie hat photos? I want to get more of an idea of the overall effect before I jump right in.
