Of the top four tweed hats on show, I would only call the top right (fore and aft) a truly Scottish Highland hat, although they are truly universal throughout the UK these days amongst the shooting and fishing country set brigade. I have no idea of the pedigree of the other tweed hats on show and I will be interested to hear other's thoughts on the matter, but I cannot remember anyone wearing them here when wearing the kilt.
As to the panama? In my experience, the panama has been worn with the kilt, in the right conditions, for all of my long life by some and without question. I would recommend them to all in the right conditions.
Just for clarification, ........... although unhelpfully, some Scottish shops reverse this!.............The "fore and aft" is as shown in OCR's post and the "deer stalker"(Sherlock Holmes style) and not shown,has the ear flaps. Both, as far as I am aware , have a Scottish pedigree.
