Coincidence! we are off shortly for a coastal hike and I was wondering what hat to wear today for sun protection. I picked up a hat which you folk describe as a fedora, I have never heard it called that.

Picking an appropriate hat to wear with a kilt has been a discussion here for years and I'm still not settled in my own mind on it.
I like a Balmoral, but they are poor sun protection, especially Down Under.
I sometimes wear an Akubra.

I wear a kilt because it's practical and comfortable, I see no reason why that should not apply to other articles of clothing, including shoes and hats.
