Well I'm not great at writing reports on the quality of products that I purchase, but I give it a go. I ordered my first (but not my last) bonnet from Dreadbelly about two weeks ago. He had to order the yarn but even with that he had it done lickity split. The quality of this hand made Tam is some of the best work that I've seen and I would suggest one of these for all Xmarkers to match any and all their kilts. I had this one made to match my Douglas Mod USAK casual kilt that Igot from Rockey and Kelly about 3 months ago which I'll post something about ASAP. But back to the tam. As you look into the top you see what looks like a circulal sort of pattern which I was told help with fit and heat retention along with breathing. I also do Civil War Reenacting as a hobbie and I wore this tam to my last reenactment and it kept my head toasty warm without making me sweat. Guys I would suggest for you to buy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more. I will be purchasing more in the first of march.
