Just a quick question regarding hats. I have a favorite hat that I generally wear in the winter when it cools down enough to warrant it. It is, I believe, a style of flat cap, and while made of wool, was manufactured here in the US. It has a half dozen or so panels of different material, tweed I believe, and has always fit me well. I just didn't know if the various patterns of the tweed panels would clash with the pattern of a tartan.

So my question is, is it OK to where the tweed hat with a tartan, or should I look at getting another hat in the same style, but in a solid color fabric, or something that might more closely match, or compliment the tartan?

Here's a pic so you can see what I mean. This is me just before heading out to my second kilted outing. I got some strange looks to start, and a few of the guys looked askance at the kilt, but once the beer started flowing, and the cigars were lit, everything was smooth sailing
