Todd,

I didn't think so either. I was just responding to the issues and the general tone (not specific people)--if it is stipulated that there is a preponderance of "negative comments" about flatcaps, how can any of the ensuing commentary not also be negative?

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to wearing kilts. In my personal opinion, (note emphasis) I think to deviate much from the conventions of Traditional Highland Dress borders on parody. But I like flat caps. I don't own one but...especially in light of all this discussion...it is on my list to buy and wear with the rest of my Traditional kit. I think I'll get a big 14" newsboy in a nice grey and green tweed.
