Not so much on the rugby topic but the "cowboy hat" or brimmed hat with Highland Dress topic, here's the Pipes and Drums of the 5th Wellington West Coast and Taranaki (5WWCT) Battalion

The hat style, called Montana Peak in the USA nowadays, in the 1897 Sears catalog was called the Pine Ridge Sombrero or Cowboy's Hat (actual cowboy hats had flat brims)
