Flat Cap confederation --- New Social Group

**ForresterModern** · 15th July 09, 01:40 AM

Zardoz has started a new social group, The Flat Cap Confederation:

We are a group of funloving, kilted and capped individuals who embrace the ideal that in modern Highlandware the Flatcap, Newsboy, Quartercap, Trimmer, Scally, or similar, can be just as appropriate, historic and traditional as the Tam, Glen or Balmoral.

Come on in, you can leave your hat on!

I am proud to join him as his first added member. Flatcaps forever!

Er, may one enquire, whether you are talking about flat cas in general, or, am I to assume that you are talking about kilts and flat caps? As this is a kilt forum, I assume the latter. Am I correct in this?

DOH!!! A senior moment!!! Now that I have found my glasses and have just remembered how to put them on, I see the answer is in the first post. Sorry.

Like Groucho I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member and anyway I only wear a flat cap when kilted after dark.

Is there a particular reason for this?

Well, yes there is, but I could'nt possibly tell you. The mods would kill me!

Nice Flatcap !

Flat caps are about the only hat I will wear with my kilts, so count me in.

I normally don't wear hats unless I have to, but I can see where some hat-wearers would prefer an alternative to the traditional tams, glens, and balmorrals.

My lone flatcap is off to you.
