What hat do you wear with a kilt?

Having spent a good number of years getting "Glengarry's Revenge" standing on the parade field with the pipe bands, I now wear a broad brimmed hat when there is enough sun to warrant it. Otherwise I don't wear a hat. That's me on the left obviously.

Nice hat, and even nicer hose!

Well having posted earlier regarding my quest for a Deerstalker. I have now obtained one. I love it and cant imagine ever being kilted without it from now on.



Apologies for the dodgy quality but took the pic on my iphone about 10 mins ago.

I can see it on my screen Jock. Big ugly fellow wearing a deerstalker.

Cheers Kyle. Am so happy with it lovely quality and teflon coated so will withstand much harsh treatment and weather.

Looks great Simon, and more practical when out kilted in the hills than a balmoral.

I believe this gentleman may be a Sikh, perhaps from a regiment somewhere on the Indian subcontinent? I fail to see why his headwear is the least bit relevant to the discussion of what any of us wear. My apologies if the photo was posted as an attempt at a humorous sidebar.

I am just back from a week up Stirlingshire/East Dunbartonshire and Glasgow. In Glasgow on Monday I saw a lot of Sikhs in the Cowcaddens area of Glasgow going to a Sikh wedding. I don't know if you could count the turban as a hat, but these guys were wearing matching kilts and turbans and they looked absolutely fantastic, in my opinion, as sharp as a razor. Really stylish. Their wives were wearing traditional Indian dress and I think the look of the couples together really complimented one another. The fellahs were also carrying traditional Sikh swords with their outfits. Outstanding. Their accents, of course, were pure dead Glesca, they had obviously been born and raised here.

BTW, I don't think the guy in the pic is a Sikh, he looks more like a Scotsman living in India. I have several pics of Scots in India at the height of the British Empire era who dressed similar to this, including officers from the Black Watch.

Thanks Peter. Am looking forward to wearing it to the Harpenden Highland Games, hopefully it will be a typical British summers day, wet and windy or I think I will boil in it.
