I've been on the fence about getting a Balmoral.
I typically do not buy clothes (hats included) that cannnot also be worn trousered (as I do not wear the kilt everyay). My fore-and-aft hat being an example.
Here are my concerns:
Living in Southern California kilts and Highland wear of any sort are rarely seen. I wouldn't want to risk looking like I was "dressed up" like a Scotsman in a costume (perhaps my age is showing?). While I really like the look of the Balmoral can it appropriately be worn when not kilted or is that just goofy?
Secondly, are they warm hats? My tweed flatcap and f&a hat get worn from Autumn through late Spring. Not at all during the Summer months (it gets over 100*F here during the Summer).
Lastly, am I over-thinking it?
Many thanks.
