Thanks ThistleDown, that is most likely what I am thinking of with this. I was asking if it is acceptable to wear that style bonnet because as I stated before it is important to me that I be able to fold up a hat or bonnet and get it out of the way when I take it off.
The reason I have that image in my mind is a bit strange. Over here we have a hot pepper called a habanero. In the Caribbean it's cousin is known as a "Scotch Bonnet." They have a wrinkly texture, and are round-ish. To explain why the chili is called that, a painting or picture of a painting is often shown of a man wearing a kilt and one of these wrinkled looking bonnets, and it is usually a lighter blue color. The chili peppers are normally green though... and about as hot as a pepper can get.
* Yes, I know the ghost pepper from the Far East is ten times hotter. *
*** Ok, I went and looked up the Scotch Bonnet pepper.
Scotch bonnet (pepper) - Wikipedia,
Wikipedia says it looks like a Tam o'shanter, but... I'm not sure exactly what a Tam o'shanter looks like. I'm also not sure that is really what the pepper was named after either.
Would you be able to fold a Tam o'shanter bonnet up without ruining it?

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
