Fedora with the kilt?

[Jack Daw]

There are no rules. You can wear a fedora with a kilt. You can wear an astronaut's helmet with a kimono. But, that's not to say that you should...!

The astronaut helmut is okay as long as it's not white.

In cool weather I wear a Tilley Winter Hat, essentially a tweed fedora. And I unapologetically (all right, apologetically, I'm sorry but I'm Canadian) wear it with my Harris Tweed jacket and kilt. ith:

A panama hat, yes.

A fedora, no.

It's that simple.

-- yet it seems to me that the traditionalist viewpoint really isn't welcome here. If I'm wrong and assumed that, then my sincere apologies, but that's what I can't help but feel.

The trick is in getting to know one another, don't you think?

Please don't wear a fedora with the kilt. Please.

A panama hat, yes. A fedora, no. It's that simple.

Both our friends have different styles. MOR is more absolute, bear-bating...and I've come to love the style of his posts. Behind them is a keen sense of humor, just as with JSFMACLJR. They are very far from curmudgeons ("a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person"); it was simply a misuse of the word.

Name-calling for good or badattempts to sum up someone in a single word. It is that which diminishes rather than the actual meaning of the epithet. So of course, the traidtionalist view is welcome and vital here, among all the other vital voices. Of course, tradition is not commandment.

Thank you every one

Matty, the Scoutmaster hat looks great on you as does the kilt. I usually have the Scouting pin on my hat as well but am finding out that other pins on the hat add some interest and generate converstation too.

I demand the opinion of Jock Scot.

Well my answer will probably defy all logic, but I really do not think the fedora goes with the kilt.There are far better options that are also more traditional, such as the" deer stalker" and the "fore 'n aft". However, in warmer climes outwith Scotland I can see the sense of a panama, or the Tilly type hat.

Jock and "fore 'n aft".
