    I'm confused

    In Scotland are Deerstalkers and Fore & Aft's two different hats?
    Over here on this side of the pond one seem's to be synonymous with the other, and when one or the other term is mentioned one almost always thinks of the image of Sherlock Holmes

    Anyways, I'm curious what these two names bring to mind in Scotland when mentioned? Two different style hats? One & the same?

    Thanks.
