Matching tam or no?

[JSFMACLJR]

Okay, so I won't wear my tartan tam anymore. Luckily, I have a black regimental tam left over from scout days. I'll wear it to this Saturday's Texas Scottish Festival. It's supposed to be hot hot hot that day, maybe 99F. I'll be seeking out the shade of the tents. Wishing I had a lightweight kilt now. Maybe a stop at Joann's is in order to see what fabrics they have.

Why not wear a straw hat and be much cooler in that heat?

I wouldnt wear a tartan tam, but i've seen many black tams with a thin tartan headbands, infact I own one too, and they look great if you want something just a little bit flashier, but still subtle

I personally would not wear a "tartan" Tam.

IMHO, pick one that matches the "primary" colors of you kilt.

I own 7 tams. ( various styles) Grey, Khaki, Dk Green, & Black,
I wear them to go with the "primary color of the kilt.
. Example =
1. Blk or Green with 5 of my kilts that have the BW as the base)
2. the grey with my Greys
3. Khaki with "earth tones ( also with #1 if wearing Tan or khaki ****)

I am saving for a "Jacobite Blue" ( 2 kilts.)

I bought a straw hat the other day. They are good for the hot weather.
