Scottish Military Kilt Cap — Navy Blue Wool Balmoral Bonnet Hat | Expo Tartan.
The Bonnet of Scottish Military Distinction.
One of the most prominent and historically important works in the Scottish Highland military dress is the Navy Blue Wool Balmoral Bonnet. The heavy, dark navy blue wool gives this bonnet a stern and authoritative look making it a staple of Scottish regimental uniform, formal Highland dress, and ceremonial occasions worldwide.
Made of pure wool, with a full lining of cotton, and all the rest in the looks of a military hat, this Balmoral Bonnet is an absolute faith to the original military pattern in every way. This bonnet has centuries of Scottish military pride with silent authority and classical nuance whether it is worn as part of a complete Highland dress outfit, a pipe band uniform or a formal clan gathering ensemble.

History of the Balmoral Bonnet.
Balmoral Bonnet naming itself after the Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire - the favourite Scottish home of the British Royal Family. Its flat topped structured silhouette and unique hanging tails became the headwear to be proudly donned by soldiers and clansmen, who fought in the Scottish Highland regiments and fought battles in the 18th and 19th centuries with honour and distinction, the headwear of the Scottish Highland regiments that fought in the battles.
Balmoral, the navy blue emblem of the Scottish navy bears rather an important place in the history of the Scottish regiments, and is allied to some of the most respected Highland regiments. The mere fact that one wears it today is a direct linking to that proud and longstanding military legacy.

Design and Features
The Navy Blue Wool Balmoral adheres to the traditional military Balmoral silhouette; a structured flat topped crown with a neat base band, traditional hanging tails at the back and the traditional black toorie at the top. The rich navy blue wool has a very strong, authoritative colour, which is perfect with tartan kilts, regimental dress, all the outfits of full Highland ceremonies, all work so well with this colour.
