Hi!
I'm leaning toward the J. Byous, as I think the crown goes higher. The Glengarry is VERY handsome, but LOOKS closer to the bonnet.
Any other companies out there?
Thanks to everyone so far!

I have one of Glengarryhats.com's doublets purchased last year. Great quality & attention to detail. In fact, I'm piping at a USN Dining-Out tomorrow evening and the OIC asked me to wear it.
It does look impressive, but like most doublets, it's somewhat on the uncomfortable side.
Slainte,
steve

I'm interested in one of the 18-button doublets, but if the vendor is not responsive to my emails (based on my attempts in buying the caubeen), I'm not too keen on ordering one.

Great link, thanks. Why don't any of these places have traditional lovat blue and green colored diced balmorals, though? 
Not that I intend to wear one much. Just for contests.

Similar. No tourie/pom-pom, though.

Thanks, Jock! That's what I was thinking of, but it's very difficult to find here, too. I have found some, but they're usually fairly expensive, and since I don't have plans to wear the thing that often, I've held off.
