I was going to agree that any hat is appropriate with a kilt until I remembered this hat.

Why do I think "put the toilet seat down" every time I see that hat? I understand that the UK has different styles this just does not do it for me.

This looks more Queen Amadala than Princess Beatrice

Yes, we do - but that is not one of them.

Here is a MOD Tam bonnet from Celtic croft here on the forum for around $35.00
It is nice and 100% wool (maybe for winter wear ) with the black watch tartan.
This hat is still issued currently to the MOD.

From the look on her face and her eyes , I think it's her socially acceptable substitute for a tin foil hat , if you know what I mean .

You know, I think the hat is a marvellous joke as well as a delightful attempt at modern style... but it you look at the gentleman's topper behind her and remove your knowledge of its historical and correct use, is it really any more sensible?

Topper? Dat’s a bicorne!

Doesn't go on his bottom! Goes on his top.

I think it would be interesting to learn what was going through the mind of the military when it goes to uniform, especially dress uniform, choices. They probably made more sense at the time.

Now back to our regularly schedule topic.
