Also, California Highlander, thanks for getting the image up.
BTW, I know this is fairly old, but I just reread the entire thread, and zeroed in on your comment about the MOD tam.

I own several--some for collection only as they have regimental hackles--and I really like to wear one in the fall and winter. Warm, small, easy to keep up, etc. I wear one with a Robertson backer and a "one size fits all" thistle badge, non-clan specific. It really does look good with casual wear, and I even wear mine with jeans and such. I recommend it for casual wear.

Be sure to get a genuine regimental tam. In the US, no one associates it with the regiments, so you won't look like you're wearing military gear out of uniform. And if they do, who cares!
