Yes of course. Why on earth would I not wear the badge? After all its part of who I am. Besides I am not going to spend my time taking the badge on and off, just because I am wearing trousers!

Thank you. I realized it was a rather silly question soon after I posted it.

It was not a silly question. If you don't know, then you don't know. In that case you ask. Its a sensible thing to do in my book.

I don't own a balmoral, but in the cooler months I wear a woolen Scots bonnet quite often. I don't see why a balmoral would be much different. Go for it, I say.

Only two people?
Only two people wear a balmoral with "street clothes"? Wow.

There are more that haven't replied. There are others out there as well that wear their bonnet with saxon clothes, but they are not members here.

Balmoral with Sasanach Satorials...
‘tis long been my practice to wear my balmorals daily when the cooler weather prevails in the Mojave Desert. The many favorable comments provide me with opportunities to promote Clan Young as well as the Las Vegas Celtic Society.

Just so you know, most civilian men in Scotland choose to go bareheaded and it matters not whether they are wearing the kilt or, wearing Saxon attire.

Same for me here in the USA. I will wear a ball cap to a ball game, a wide brimmed hat on a sunny hike or at the beach, but other than that, I am bareheaded most of the time. Love hats, and have quite a few, but just don't wear them!

I did, once. I got a lot of derisive "why are you wearing a beret?" comments. People here don't know what a Balmoral is, and without the kilt for context, they see it as an odd or flamboyant choice of headwear. They're very confused, and don't know whether it's a Frenchie thing or some sort of military thing, but the gawking is annoying. The general public is very opinionated about hat choices, apparently.
In cooler weather when I'm not wearing a kilt, I just opt for a tweed flat cap instead. It's more recognisable to the average Joe, and since it's not something I would wear with the kilt anyway, it seems like the thing to do whilst wearing trousers.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but outside of Scotland where a Balmoral isn't a usual choice of headwear, it may explain why folks wouldn't usually opt to wear it with regular trouser-based outfits.
