Acceptable attire?

Ok, if a hat is required, what would a good scotsman wear, if it wasn't a balmoral or glengarry?

I am not too sure that the good Scot description applies to me, a Scot is more accurate! Anyway to answer your question.In the rural areas a tweed deer stalker or a "fore and aft"(deer stalker without flaps(ish)) are popular still,flat tweed caps not so much.The baseball type hat is popular with the young and trendy in the town and country and John Deere caps are almost universal in the younger farming community.Oh,the "Elmer Fudd" style hat in realtree seems to be creeping in these days too.

It seems that no one wears a deerstalker in the States -- too much association with old Sherlock Holmes movies, I think. Flat caps are popular, in tweed and other materials. Kangol caps are very trendy, espcially in urban areas. I wear a deerstalker when it rains -- I don't care what anybody thinks about it, it keeps the water out of the back of your collar!

We had quite a lengthy discussion (3 or 4 pages worth) about Flat caps /a.k.a. "Drivers Caps", & 8-panel "Newsboys/Gatsbys" over at this thread, including pics posted:
