The shirt appears to have no official badges so that's fine.Then we must consider the context aspect------are you wearing the bonnet to protect yourself from the weather? Are you about to go, or have you just been on a stoll in the country to justify the boots? This is why judging these things from a picture without knowing the context, is sometimes a wee tad tricky.
This was on Freemont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada... hot day, bright sun so the bonnet protects my very bald head from sunburn, I never go out without a hat. I was actually wearing some oxford shoes the day before but they hurt my feet, hence the hiking boots [much more comfy]. The context was a reunion with my shipmates from the US Navy and the events were all very casual. That day I encountered a few other kilted people and we were all similarly attired.
