Now this is a reverse snobbery type thing by some of the Scots , that does not ever get out of hand in any way and those of you from abroad will not even begin to understand. So please lets not get in to "bashing the English" here.
I thought toffs all wore fully brimmed hats, like fedoras and trilbys. And I don't think not wanting to wear something considered English while in Scottish attire can be construed as 'bashing the English.' But actually I have no particularly strong feelings either way. I'm more of a John Deere guy myself and now I know why.

Man, this flat cap thing is fraught with unexpected PERIL! I bow out!
