    I must say these are nice goat hair sporrans these boys are sporting. The campaign hats are working too! If there were pipers, they must have had to pin-up the left brim of their hats, a la Aussie-style, unless they were wearing other head gear. Broad-brimmed hats and drones never work very well together for me.

    Thanks for the additional info and les bons mots, too!

    I've seen film from WWII showing two Kiwi Pipers playing as a troopship from New Zealand was leaving for North Africa; both pipers are wearing the distinctive Kiwi "lemon squeezer" slouch hat without the brim turned up.
