But you have to admit, there must be an awful lot of folks who do like those flat caps, with or without kilts, as it seems that the retailers continue to sell them a quite a clip.

You are of course quite correct. I have several tweed caps, my wife accuses me of collecting them, and I wold not be without them, apart from when I am wearing the kilt! My tailor can almost bank on a sale of a cap when I visit his shop.
