I do have others, but I will have to look around for them.

Thanks Ted!

Hi Chase -- I know there are other threads about hats out there, here's one that I started recently regarding Winter Hats where some of the rabble have posted pictures.

Not sure if there's a thread devoted to favorite hats however
Good question... (mine is an 8-panel Newsboy of brownish Pendleton herringbone-tweed ).

Excellent advice and it most certainly makes sense. Thank you!

i wear a tweed flat cap alot with a kilt, in an appropriately matching color. Mainly because, try as I may, I think Balmorals and tams look absolutely ridiculous ON ME. You fellows seem to wear them well! I ordered a TOS from What Price Glory recently and after Halloween, you'll probably see it up for sale here. My wife just gives me the "you're kidding, right?" look when I've put it on. Bad sign! Chris

If you can wear the kilt, sure as night follows day you can wear a balmoral! Give it a real try!You won't feel so bad after a while, its bound to look far better than any tweed cap or ToS, when you are wearing the kilt---------honestly it will.

I admit to often wearing my brown tweed "newsboy" cap with my kilts. I dearly love the thing! Mine is Irish-made from these folks:

Honest opinions; does it look stupid?

I like it Brian, but then since I'm a fan of that style of cap I might be the wrong chap to ask

I think it looks great.

Gilmore, I think that any Scot would adapt their headwear to the conditions they find themselves in ,particularly as we are all wiser than we used to be about the cancer risks. I have always thought that,with the kilt, a Panama would be just the ticket for hot climes, or, of course a topee, such as Jamie wears. I have to say that to my Scots eyes, a flat cap worn with the kilt looks worse than awful, I do, however, wear one on nearly every occasion when not wearing the kilt.
