Stetson with kilt

@Loxlie: As to the Spurs, I agree... Those would be a nightmare to have to integrate, Especially considering some of the rules I Have heard of in their regards. Heck its a problem even going for them in units like the 7th as I have heard that the Armored Units put the Non Armor Troops through the wringer to keep them from getting them. I don't know if its true, but that's what I was told when I found out we could get them, so I never bothered to pursue them. Pity really, Being able to represent Armor, Infantry, and Cavalry in one Uniform Combination would have been Cool. For the Record though As I Got the 9ths Belt Buckle, and I associated with the 7th for the Unit Crest so I had Two of the Three

I live at 4500 ft. altitude. The sun can be pretty intense and I wear the Stetson regularly, with or without the kilt.

I wear a Western style hat with my kilt on the athletic field, both when judging and when competing.

I have a picture on a camera I've wanted to post since September, but I can't get it to down load to the computer. So,you'll just have to accept my description as true.

The pic is of the Town Marshall of Dodge City, Kansas in a kilt wearing a Stetson with a Gus crease, and very loud custom cowboy boots. His kilt in the Bailey tartan, he being a Bailey.

It looked odd, but also just right for one in his position. For a pony soldier wearing a hat in a style that was never really Army issue, the combination of Stetson and kilt would probably be OK. It's a lot like the fantasy combinations of garb worn by the steam punk crowd.

A dark blue shell jacket, or mess jacket would look well with the kilt and Stetson combo. I think if I were to wear a kilt and Stetson combo often I'd invest in a shell jacket.

As for me, I'd wear a 1898 hat if I were ever to go for this get-up. That's what Frederick Funston and the kick *** 20th Kansas wore. A newly made reproduction 1904 pattern would do.

I would wear this Stetson with a kilt

But not this Stetson

Stetson makes more than just cowboy hats!

This is true! I love those big patchwork newsboy hats they make.

Here comes another discussion about flat caps

Wear it if you feel good in it, though personally I'm not convinced about Stetson and Kilt combinations - even though the pink in the tartan matches the pink stetson.

Imagine what comments would ensue were anyone to have taken a picture of me at the Phoenix Scottish Gathering two weeks ago in my 18th c. shirt, traditional Gunn Modern kilt, REI light hiker socks, Merrill Moab low hiking shoes and. . .

Wait for it . . .

Complete with Gunn badge and juniper sprig. . . .

Tan boonie hat.

If wearing formal Kilted clothing no I wouldn't wear a Stetson, but causally wearing trainers ( sneakers), and a polo shirt or waxed jacket out in the rain yes I would. Or in my case I do put on an Australian bush hat.
