    Just remember that wearing a flat cap with a kilt is an American style, and is never ever done in Scotland.
    Do you know I could not have said that any better. You must be getting some very good advice from somewhere,Ted.

    Yes, these things tend to stick in the mind after a while.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    That's not really a flatcap, it's a news boy cap. Different construction and look, even if they're more closely related than a bowler to a baseball cap. I like the 8-panel newsie, I've been on the lookout for one.

    Yep, it's a newsboy. And, I've been looking for one too Nick. Someone posted a link to this site a while back. I emailed with a question and didn't receive a reply. So, I've not ordered from them... I may email again, as they have just what I'm looking for.
