I have been wearing the tam-o-shanter I knitted for Daughter before she decided secondary school wasn't the place for it but it doesn't suit me and I have agonies working out what the top floppy bit is supposed to do. I like hats with brims but they do not fulfil the necessary function of keeping your ears warm. In Scandinavia I wore shawls - loose over head, warm round neck and crossed over chest under coat for extra body warmth - but I agree they have too much little old lady/religious cult/posh horsey person about them for 21st century rural England.
