Bonnets !

I've seen several a Glengerry and Balmoral that had replaced the behind the clan badge ribbon with tartan - That would work. The color of the bonnet would contrast to the clan colors or to fashion. I have black, green and blue that I regularly wear.

Hello A A.I suppose I look at things through Scots eyes and whilst a tartan square is worn,by the military mainly,behind the cap badge,I think that tartan as headwear can be overdone.There is nothing more Scots than a Balmoral or Glengarry so why put tartan on it?Others may have different thoughts,of course.

Of course others may have different thoughts. But we need your point of view ! Thanks to gentlemen like you, we don't have to go simultaneously on European forums. X Marks the Scot presents all angles of vision !

I like wearing a small tartan flash behind my clan badge. That's just me, I like the military style -- & there are times I wear my bonnet when walking out other than in a kilt thus I like a bit of my clans tartan with me.

As for tartan bonnets, you see them from time to time at our local games.
Not for me, though I like seeing the wee ones wearing them. I plan to get one for my daughter's upcoming 9th birthday (she wants one)
