Thanks flair, I did manage to find several of the "great hat debate" threads and spent most of this morning reading through them and have settled on my own stances for how/when/where certain headwear is better off than others (though I will still likely pick up a Glengarry at some point, I do prefer that style over the Balmoral/Tam but that's just preference).

I guess I should 'fess up on this point too, the "everything must match" mentality was something I grew up with (having lived the majority of my childhood in the 90's) not just because that was how I was taught, but I also have a significant red/green color deficiency which plays havoc with my interpretations of nearly all colors. As such, I know I tend to have an anal attitude on making sure my clothes match so I don't look like I stumbled into my closet in the dark and then walked out wearing whatever stuck to me (which, I'll admit, has appeared as though I have before >_< )
