Come to think of it, there really is no other type of hat to wear with formal dress such as a dinner jacket (tuxedo) or morning coat (cutaway), is there? (Unless it's under an academic gown with a 'mortarboard' or other sort of academic headwear on top!) What else would be suitable to black- or white-tie? And certainly with a cravat!
