What are your thoughts on a traditional straw boater? Too barbershop quartet, or just eccentric?
Cheers,
David

I don't recall ever seeing a boater being worn, out in the wild, with the kilt.
I used to wear a boater at school and at times, at University. I have to say I was amongst many who did not find them easy or, comfortable to wear as they had no "give" in them. They were substantially made and they did take a considerable beating in our hands, and soon became rather tatty. Much to the dismay of the Headmaster, or Chancellor.

Got any pictures of young Jock in a boater? I'd love to see one or two!

I do recall one or two "boater pictures" lurking about a long time ago, but goodness knows where they are. Should I bump into one, well, I shall then have to get the hang of coping with the mysteries of posting pictures on the internet! So, don't be holding your breath!

That would be fun, Jock. You have my E-mail, I think, so if it becomes problematic, and you'd send it along, I'd be pleased to upload for you, you natty young man!

Right then Bill, the hunt is on! Goodness knows what I might find? I think Gloucestershire might be the place to start!
