You know BoldHighlander, I was thinking about how there seemed to be a third style of this kind of hat that is poofier or more clothey around the back. I think they are all in the same family of caps that fold down over the bill, including the Scottish version with the pompom thing in the middle. I seem to remember a military style hat that has a mor rigid and flat top that is wedge shaped...
Ok, I had to go look that up. I was talking about the Balmoral and the tam. They kind of have the same flavor having the flat top; guess they don't have a brim of any sort though... They kind of remind me of the look of the newsboy or the flat cap. I'm not sure what that military looking hat would be that I was talking about, but I seem to remember the front of it slanting down over the bill and perhaps not actually touching the bill; probably made of canvas.
I wouldn't mind wearing a glengarry from time to time, but not too often. Deerstalkers are kind of neat too. I used to have a brown one, but it wore out along with almost all of my other hats.
Here's an idea, a leather glengarry motorcycle hat.Remember those leather helmets? You'll need some round goggles with the leather glengarry too.
