Balmorals and Glengarrys

[macwilkin]

I agree with what has been said about mixing military uniforms and civilian attire. However, what is the general opinion on the maroon or green balmoral (with the clan badge ect instead of insignia)? Do most prefer black or dark blue balmoral to the military green/maroon beret color as a balmoral? Has anyone seen a green balmoral with clan badges? Would it be considered bad form if one had earned the right to wear the coresponding beret to wear the balmoral?

Since neither the green or maroon balmorals are worn as uniform headgear by the Royal Regiment of Scotland (or any other Commonwealth Scottish regiment), it really isn't an issue. Maroon berets are worn by the Paras (and US Airborne), and green by SF and the Royal Marines, Rifles, etc., but not balmorals.
