The mere fact that one wears it today is a direct linking to that proud and longstanding military legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign and Features\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.
