Headwear

[James MacMillan]

Does anybody wear a Kangol flatcap or so with a kilt? Any pics of that?

That's what I wear to play golf.

James,

I have always been unsure what was appropriate hat for formal Aztec attire. Thanks for pointing out the appropriate head gear.

Cheers

Well, I know one thing - They sure don't wear pants!

Maybe I can claim the title of Aztec Fashion Advisor?

I do wear a Kangol flatcap, but don't have any pics at the moment. I will have to remedy that.

I wear a tweed and tartan driving caps, berets, a balmoral, a glengarry, an austrailian slouch hat, and am considering a pith helmet for the very hot summer highland games.

I wear driving caps that are tweeds, solid colors, and I even have a quilted one. When I'm working out in the garden, some times I wear a straw hat or a large canvas hat, kind of like "cowboy" hats or something like that.

I also am a fan of driving caps, both tweed and plain. Not sure about the pith helmet though

I still occasionally wear a Balmoral or a Glengarry, but often find them a bit too Highland Gamesy for everyday. I did see a tweed Balmoral that I am thinking about though.

Chef,

From discussions elsewhere I have determined that a pith helmet would work with a safari style khaki shirt and khaki hose at a Highland Game in the same way that wearing a Jacobite shirt works at one. The look is far too theatrical for regular daywear but at a festive (hot and sunny) celebration of things Scottish I think it would be fine. The reason I'm considering this is that I'm getting tired of getting sunburned, also one never knows when one might bump into Livingston at a Highland Games...

Well, chance favours the prepared.

I agree it might be a bit much for daywear, but I am sure you will look quite dapper.

So-called Jacobite shirts (with the shoestring or leather thong lace-up) are not really period accurate; so, it is, in effect, a costume shirt, as far as I am concerned. When I did re-enactments I found out the hard way after purchasing 2 or 3 of them. So, I gave them to my nephew for his Dungeon & Dragons role-playing.

BTW, a pith helmut may give you shade, but in the hot sun, they make your brain boil. A straw cowboy will keep you cool.

Jock I just have to say you look Smashing in that picture.

A cowboy hat with a kilt? I am new to kilts, but that just seems weird. I have a few cowboy hats, but I don't think I would ever wear them with a kilt. I like the look of the balmoral. I would be interested to see some front view pics of a cowboy hat with a kilt- maybe I would change my mind.

This is the only images I have available at the moment of anyone with a cowboy hat and wearing a kilt at the same time are...

1) Musician Kenny Dickenson (centre with Scotland's own KT Tunstall) in a black 21st Century Kilt & wearing a black cowboy hat:



2) Scottish actor Craig Ferguson at Country Music Awards wearing his Ferguson Kilt and cowboy hat:
