My preference is a plain back balmoral with the Chief's Crest Badge of the Clan Cumming, and a cockade in the livery colours (Blue & Gold, the two predominant colours on the chief's arms) of the Cummings. I also sometimes wear a spring of wheat to symbolise the Cummin plant, our plant badge. I normally don't wear the bonnet in "formal" kit, but I do wear it in "day" wear. I also have a diced glengarry that I wear when I am in our St. Andrew's Society colour party for uniformity's sake.

I like the look of a "flat cap", a la Graham, with a kilt, especially with a tweed jacket.

I have also worn a "slouch" hat with a Montana Peak (think Park Ranger or Mountie hat) when I have done some storytelling about the Scots in the North American West.

Heck, I've worn a ball cap (of my favourite micro-brewery!)

Cheers!
