"Brigadoonery"? "TCHD"? Who decides?

...
I'd like to ask you and @Panache, as well as the wider forum: If one is not quite confident enough to wear a pith helmet in public, what headgear would be traditionally acceptable in a blisteringly-hot, sunny climate? My local games are coming up soon. The forecast for the day is currently 90+°F (32+°C), ~100%rH, full sun, and nary a breeze. I'm rather fair and would like not to end the day as red as my scarlet flashes, nor would I like to flirt with heat stroke.

A nice panama hat is perfect way to ward off the Summer sun. This is what I wore after the Red Thistle Dancers performance on Saturday at the Pleasanton Highland Games when it was 90+



And what I wore the next day at the Games



The panama is nothing if not practical

Cheers

In post #20 that's my brother in the Holyrood! Note that both Alan and the "kilt inspector" are looking at him. Not a good sign.

I wound back throught the thread to see what you were talking about here. This lead to the realisation that I've spent too much time on this forum since discovering it. This conclusion was reached from the following two premises:

1) I correctly identified the Holyrood kilt and fairly quickly to boot, and
2) I noticed the kilt before I noticed the kilt inspector.


Number two has me slightly concerned to be perfectly honest.

bwat: I know what you mean.
