    I agree that ordinarily I would not consider wearing any hat while wearing the PC. However it is going to be quite cold on the waterfront and I am wearing my hair very short these days and for some reason my volunteer's baseball cap just doesn't seem the proper cover to wear.

    In the 19th C, it's my understanding that one didn't go about out of doors without a head cover, so I would recommend the balmoral as I do not like to wear the glengarry myself.

    Glengarry. A bit more formal than the balmoral, and I think it would suit the occasion better.

    I agree. The Glengarry I think always looks smart to me. Don't forget to post pictures if you can.

    I will be interested to hear what you decided to wear and hope that you may be able to share some photos.

    While I like a balmoral personally, with the constant on/off-on/off the glen I would think would be easier to stow on your person when boarding the ships repeatedly.

    Well the park's "Holiday" at sea event has come and gone. Here is a picture of what I wore. I am afraid that I broke most of the rules of THCD as put forth on this site.
    1. I wore a Glengarry
    2. I wore a fly plaid
    3. I wore a rouche tie
    4. I wore white hose
    5. I wore matching tartan flashes
    But, in my defense, I got compliments going to, while at, and coming home from the event. (I took the bus to and from the event)

    As the side discussion between Jock, Douglas and me pertains to Phil's choice, the Glengarry gives the sense of leadership (as a guide for the groups) where a balmoral may make him appear as "one of the guys". Either hat would have worked, because I expect no other visitor was donning that style of headwear. That would be for Phil to clarify.
    The ensemble works and will be remembered along with the tour's other attractions.

    I'm with Father Bill and Terry on this topic. I think the Glengarry looks 'smarter' and the Balmoral looks 'rougher' (and neither keep my ears warm but both cover my bald spot ).
    Regards,
    Tom

    Is the glengarry really more formal than the balmoral? Since when? I ask out of pure interest, nothing more.
