Recommend me a hat?

[Cuvier]

Good evening Gents,

I got bit by a black Friday sale and bought a new suit. Now I find myself looking for a hat. What would you recommend?
This is what I bought, it's currently at my tailor getting adjusted a bit.

I'm also looking for those socks.

I have corduroy and brown herringbone flat caps and a green herringbone bakerboy that fit the style albeit color.
What else would work?

A homburg or a Lord's hat in a mid or dark brown.

I would say that you can wear whatever you personally like with it. If you are looking for a general recommendation based on 'contemporary style sensibilities,' then Belfastboy’s suggestion is a good choice. In fact, hats in shades of brown—including a fedora—go well with this look. However, if your goal is to be 'period-appropriate,' then a Homburg (or 'Lord's hat') would be too formal for a knickerbocker suit, as the latter is considered sportswear. For this, I believe that wide-cut caps—made from a coarse fabric in natural tones, perhaps echoing the colors found in your socks—are the best choice. Take a look here:

I don't care for a Lord's hat all that much. Homburgs I like. I got regular trousers that would complete it with a homburg.

I'm going to look for another cap to wear. It's a very lightweight outfit so a lightweight cap I think would be better.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Off for a little grouse?

I echo what @Mean Eyed Matt said. This is a sportier suit and thus requires a sportier head covering. A flat cap or a more country styled fedora would be my suggestions.
