Hats

[Jock Scot]

AHA! The trick there is to wear the flaps on the baggy side, just don't have the flaps tied up too tight at the top.

I think that I need to expand a tad, on the above.

When the bonnet is new, the flaps will be fairly stiff, so getting the "baggy" look takes time and regular wear. You chaps need to understand that these bonnets are often worn as everyday, all-weather, all-occasion attire by ghillies, stalkers, game keepers, farmers, shepherds, country sportsmen/women and so on. So a new bonnet gets "worn in" fairly quickly, so in a few months the new bonnet achieves the baggie-ness to allow the flaps to have the necessary "blousing ability" when required to give the ears some modicum of protection from the sun. Unlike the occasional wearer who might take quite a long time to achieve the same effect.
