Where to wear the Glengarry??

[cherokeesix]

Is there a proper level of dress when the Glengarry should be worn or is it completely up to the wearer?

Whenever you're not wearing your balmoral?

Honestly, I think it's up to you!

[Panache]

When one is outside of course!

Seriously though, I've not heard of a rule for Glengarries or Balmorals in regards to level of formality in dress. I personally wouldn't wear my Glengarry with a T-Shirt*, but I would with a polo.

* Then again I seldom wear T-Shirts

Glengarries and Balmorals are completely interchangeable. (Assuming they are both made of the same material. And one's not tie-dyed or something)

But I agree with the outside comment, I see to many people wearing covers inside. But that's just my $.02.

Yes; uncover indoors (unless "under arms"; actively participating in a color or honor guard).

[Nanook]

Yes; uncover indoors

To remove a hat is submission and is driven the tradition of the person in their context within local custom but not exclusively by the rules of local custom. I would strongly refuse any request to remove my glengarry (when I'm wearing one).

Thanks for the advice again. I still retain most of my Military Bearing and do not wear a cover indoors. Thanks to my dear Drill Sargeant at Ft Dix NJ. I was going to wear a ghillie shirt with the kilt to the games and, as you may or may not have seen in my pics, I am severely follically challenged. I shave the ol' brain protector every other day and was trying to figure what I could wear to keep the sunburn to a minimum. I guess that sunscreen 50 may be the only option. Can you wear a glengarry with a ghillie shirt?

Thanks
Patrick

A bit off topic, but ... When were you at Ft Dix? I did my basic there in 1981 - was in C-2-5. Remember all the &$%*! sand we marched through! I swore that the DI's trucked that stuff in fresh every night

Ended up stationed at Walson Army Hospital after AIT (91B - Medic) ... couldn't get away from the darn place!

In my case it was my grandparents and my parents.

If I didn't uncover indoors, the Earth would gain a slight eccentricity in its orbit due to the multiple graves whose occupants had begun gyrating madly.

It still boggles me that there are so many people who'll even wear their baseball caps to indoor weddings - in churches - and fail to uncover.

(Note: I'm not talking yarmulkes, here... BASEBALL CAPS... in Methodist, Catholic, and Baptist churches.)

Nyekulturny in my book.

as i have a fairly large head (always needed an XL motorcycle helmet)
very few hats of any type look good on me.
one of those few are Berets.
does the wearing of a Beret follow similar rules as wearing a Glengarry?
I'm thinking a Beret with my clan crest pin in place of the flash would look quite sharp.

additionally,
I'm one of those that may rub the grain the wrong way,
in that if I've chosen to wear a hat on any given day,
i usually don't take it off. for anything.
it's not a respect thing as far as I'm concerned.
it's the simple fact that since my crash back in the 80's I'm severely effected by the cold.
add that to the fact i get an award willing case of hat head.
(should my hair be longer than it's usual 1/16" length)
and because i have worked in kitchens for years on end,
i was required to wear a hat at all times for sanitary reasons.
