Bring the whole outfit together

-- but one thing to consider -- how many times do you actually wear a bonnet with formal wear? Unless your part of an escort at a Burns Supper, or in a colour party, you really do not wear a cover indoors. Usually when I attend a formal function, I leave the headgear at home, because I'm just going to have to "babysit" all night anyway.

I was considering this as well. I would expect it would only be worn while walking to a function from the car or standing around outside at a function. I always hated seeing Marines standing around in uniform without a cover on. It just kind of looked like you were still getting dressed or had your fly open so I felt like the glen would provide a more complete look to the whole rig. Other than that I would think it would mostly be worn while hiking to keep in some heat in the cooler months or protect from sun (attic insulation is getting a bit thin )

But it sounds like the vote is for the solid green, if needed.

If you are going to be wearing headgear for more "casual" outings, I would suggest the balmoral over the glengarry. Whilst neither is ideally suited for protection against the sun, the glengarry is worse than the bonnet in regards to sunburns.

I agree with you about no covers and looking "incomplete". I used to wear a bonnet with formal "rig" though.
