I see Tilley hats mentioned from time to time on threads about hats.

My little town actually has a Tilley vendor - the folks who run the raft trips in the canyon. I'd ordered up a catalog from the Tilley website and last week I stopped in to the raft company to eyeball their Tilley hats.

I came home with an LTM6 Airflo.

My question is, has anyone ever "enhanced" or "decorated" their Tilley in a manner that makes it seem more Celtic or more Scottish? Like add a cap pin or a flash or a tartan headband?

I need a lightweight hat out here in the desert heat and the LTM6 certainly is that. Don't know how well it'd hold the weight of a cap pin - and I need the brim down anyhow.

Thinking small pins like rodeo guys put on their cowboy hats, or a lightweight tartan flash or headband. Something to somehow connect it with kilts I'll be wearing it with.

Any examples or ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron
