How do you guys wear your clan badge on a flat cap?

You should ask Jock Scot. HE'LL KNOW!

That he is!

The short answer is-------wait for it!------are you ready for this?----------- Well actually--------------I dont know!

There is a longer answer, but the world is not ready for total meltdown.

I wouldn't wear one on a flat cap. As others have said, there is no place to affix it, and it would just end up looking goofy and out of place. Plus the flat cap doesn't really call for badge to be worn on it.

If you absolutely must have a clan crest on your flat cap, I'd find one of those small quarter sized ones that some vendors carry and use that one.

I agree.

There it is, well put! I don't recall ever seeing such a thing.

There's one exception: there's a guy I know who wears a flat cap that's covered with various pins across the top: his old Army pins, Disney pins, and what not. He might even have a clan badge on there, I wouldn't be surprised.

I am all for the flat cap, but I can't imagine it looking anything other than out of place with a clan badge.

But again... where would one mount it? The only flat spot with a vertical face is at the rear. Unless you wear it backwards like Samuel L. Jackson, lol.

I just can't see putting any type of pin on a flat cap without it looking weird.

Good idea, but then one could be mistaken for a kilt-wearing taxi driver. (Do cabbies still wear union pins?)

*** to what the rabble have said. Where would one afgix it and it would look out-of-place.

I'm okay with flatcaps whether kilted or tousered. I understand that they are more of an American kilting hat TODAY but in the PAST they WERE worn whilest kilted without a second thought in Scotland.

Kilted cabbie!
