FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
What is the difference between a Balmoral and a Glengarry hat?
The Balmoral and Glengarry hats are traditional Scottish headwear, both commonly worn with Highland dress, but they differ in design and style. The Balmoral is a flat, round bonnet with a wide crown, often featuring a pompom on top, and is typically worn pulled forward. It can be plain or tartan-patterned. The Glengarry is a boat-shaped cap, usually diced with red, black, and white checkers, and often features a red pompom. It is worn at an angle on the head. While both are formal Highland wear, the Glengarry is more closely associated with military dress.
What is a cap called in Scotland? & What is the most popular hat in Scotland?
In Scotland, a traditional cap is often referred to as a bunnet. This term is commonly used for a flat cap, which is popular among Scots for its practicality and style. The most iconic hat in Scotland is the tam o' shanter, characterized by its pom-pom and wide brim. Traditionally associated with Scottish culture, it is often made from acrylic wool and features tartan patterns. Both the bunnet and tam o' shanter are not only functional but also symbolize Scottish heritage, frequently worn during festivals, parades, and other cultural celebrations.
Are these hats suitable for casual wear or just formal occasions?
The hats we offer, such as the Balmoral, Glengarry, and Tam o' Shanter, are versatile and can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. Traditionally, these hats are part of formal Highland dress, often worn at Scottish cultural events, ceremonies, and parades. However, many of our hats, like the Plaid Flat Cap and Tartan Tam, are also suitable for everyday casual wear. Their classic designs and durable materials make them a stylish choice for both outdoor activities and casual outings. Whether for a formal event or a laid-back day, these hats offer timeless appeal and functionality.
How to properly wear a Scottish cap?
To properly wear a Scottish cap, such as a Balmoral or Glengarry, ensure the Balmoral is positioned level on your head, with the front pulled slightly forward over your brow and the pompom centered on top, while the ribbon tails hang neatly down the back. For the Glengarry, tilt the cap to the right, with the front angled just above the right eyebrow, allowing the tails to hang down the back and the pompom, if present, to sit at the rear. Both caps should be worn confidently, reflecting their rich traditional significance in Scottish culture and heritage.
How do I care for my hat?
To care for your Scottish hat, it is important to avoid machine washing; instead, gently spot clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent. For wool hats, dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and fabric quality. Store your hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, preferably in a hatbox or on a flat surface to maintain its form. Minimize excessive handling or crushing, as this can deform the hat. With proper care, your hat will maintain its appearance and last for years.
Are these hats suitable for cold weather?
Yes, many of the hats we offer, such as the Balmoral, Glengarry, and Tartan Beanies, are highly suitable for cold weather. Made from high-quality acrylic wool, these hats provide excellent insulation, helping to retain warmth during colder months. Wool is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and offers superior protection against wind and cold temperatures. The designs, particularly the beanies and thicker acrylic woolen caps, are perfect for outdoor activities and winter wear, ensuring comfort and style. Whether for formal Highland dress or casual use, these hats are a practical and stylish choice for staying warm in chilly conditions.
