Balmoral Cap - Black Wool Yellow and White Diced Scottish Military Bonnet - Expo Tartan.
The Bonnet of Scottish Military Tradition.
The Black Wool Balmoral Cap with Yellow and White Dicing is one of the most unique and historical attire in military wear in the Scottish Highlands. The iconic diced band - alternating yellow and white squares running around the base of the bonnet - is a hallmark of Scottish military regiments and Highland dress tradition, and instantly recognisable to anyone with a knowledge of Scottish heritage and regimental history.
It is a Balmoral Bonnet, made of pure wool in a deep, rich black, with a crisp yellow and white dicing on it. Whether it is worn as part of the formal Highland outfit, or a regimental uniform, or a carefully put together clan dress outfit, this bonnet commands respect and attention wherever it is worn.

History of the Diced Balmoral.
The origins of the diced band on a Balmoral Bonnet can be traced back to Scottish military regimental dress where certain colour combinations of dicing were used to identify different regiments and clan affiliations. One of the most traditional and generally well known combinations, it is the proud heritage of Scottish Highland regiments that served with distinction through the centuries of British and Scottish military history.
The putting on a diced Balmoral is not just a style choice, but a connection with a legacy of Scottish soldiers, clansmen and Highland warriors who wore this bonnet as a symbol of identity, bravery and belonging.

Design and Features
The Black Wool Balmoral with Yellow and White Dicing is based on the traditional Balmoral shape of the hat, which is flat topped and has an organized crown, a neat band of dicing around the crown, the classic hanging tails at the back, and the typical black toorie at the top. All the components of this bonnet are true to the original military style, which makes the bonnet appropriate in all formal regimental, Highland games, clan meetings and ceremonial events.
