    just a little clarification, not everyone in Scotland hates flat caps, just because a few, or indeed some do dislike them, that in itself shouldn't be taken that they aren't worn.
    the advice is , and always has been with these things, you decide what you want to do,

    I'd like to run with that for a moment. We should not lose sight that for all intents and purposes this forum is a very small (although rather vocal) group of people expressing their personal views on things kilted. When it comes to how to dress, no one speaks for anyone other themselves. We all have our views, life experiences, prejudices, etc.

    I can't presume to speak authoritatively for my neighbor, coreligionist, and least of all my nation. (As the Chieftain of Clan Monkey@Arms, however, my word is law on all M@A related topics.)

    When others post strongly held views, it is sometimes useful to remember that what is true for them is not necessarily true for all, it is just one person's opinion (and that the repetition of that position in multiple threads still doesn't make it any more than the view of the poster.)

    Best regards,

    IMHO, I like flat caps and think they go very well with just about everything. I, for one, would not wear one with a swimming suit.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

    Personally, I appreciate being able to hear a variety of opinions regarding kilted attire from across the globe. It helps inform my decisions. In the end though - its up to me to decide what I will wear and how I will wear it. I see a spectrum - long continuum of kilted customs if you will - stretching from grunge to highland traditional. Its up to me to decide where I fit in this rainbow of possibilities.

    Because it's exactly like wearing top hats, turbans, baseball caps, and bandanas.

    It's also a common attribute of the North American, plastic-paddy, Openly beer-drinking, weekend Scottish, -Guy-who-wouldn't-know-anything-about-a-kilt-even-if-it-bit-him-in-the-hindquarters..You know?

    And BTW, can I get a copy of that published study on the 2,000,000 sexiest men in kilts?
