Well, Jock, I have looked over your post several times and I think you are actually approving of wearing either style of hat as shown in the pictures. I kind of like the straw hat as seen in my mind.

I thought that you would reject the gray canvas hat, but since you think it is ok, I would go as far as to ponder whether a real "cowboy" style hat might work.

However, I think I will probably still plan on getting a Balmoral bonnet.

I am also wondering why you, Jock, are the only one so far who has directly commented on the hats... Am I missing something here? I guess Mein approved indirectly, though.

Just wondering... I thought the Americans would be leaping with joy to finally know which sun hat to wear with the kilt.
