    With the dress coat and full kit, the Balmoral and Glengarry look best. Swap out to a polo shirt and I like the flate cap.

    Change to a Safari shirt or open neck button down, and the Tilley takes the cake.

    Just like everything else, hats need to be matched to the outfits. I have my widebrim hat, flat cap, several booney hats, a blamoral, berets, do-rags, and watch caps. I wear the appropriate hat for the clothes I'm wearing.

    (black watch cap, UK Workmans, tank-top, dark sunglasses, and combat boots is one bad-*** looking outfit. So is my wool Saffron SWK, black dress shirt, hose, dress shoes, and flat cap.)

    You know, that's exactly what I used to think, untill I spent so much time looking at the flix.

    I now think that all of those could be worn for different times.

    The more I look at that Tilly, the better I like it. I just don't know if it feels, well "Scottish" enough

    Congratulations on obtaining your Tilley at a bargain. It's unusual and surprising that one would give one up.

    Buried somewhere in the 100+ pages of "Do's and Don'ts" is this fellow who has the perfect hat for the sunny humid day and was so obviously comfortable and uncaring about the fashion opinion of others.

    I really don't think I could ever dress like that.

    But the guy above looks like he may own a yaught!

    The filthy rich have different rules from the rest of us.

    It's the Tilley for me, just about every day. I have a battered old-style white cotton one, a new-fangled synthetic light khaki, and my next one will be hemp. Launder it early and often, it'll last longer!

    James, all those are good-looking. If you're going to be outdoors, I recommend the Tilley, since it will help to protect your face.

    My advice is: if you ever go to Scotland, take the Tilley. I had a lovely fur felt pretty well done in by a trip down the Great Glen.

    P.S. It's not a uniform. Wear what keep you healthy, and what you like.
