Khaki Military-Style Balmoral/Tam – A Tribute to Scottish Military Heritage
Step into history with our Khaki Military-Style Balmoral/Tam, inspired by the classic military bonnet worn by Scottish infantrymen during World War I. First issued in 1915, this distinctive headdress was designed for troops serving on the Western Front, offering a blend of function, heritage, and pride. Today, this style continues to be worn by several British and Canadian military regiments, including the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Our modern interpretation stays true to its roots, crafted in a green-toned khaki—a nod to the earth-tone palette of the original, while adding a subtle Celtic Croft twist. Whether you’re a historical reenactor, piper, or simply want to showcase your Scottish military pride, this Balmoral is a meaningful addition to any Highland ensemble.

At the time I ordered the khaki Balmoral tam, my correct size was not in stock. Celtic Croft notified me by email of the out of stock item. I didn't want to wait for it to be back in stock so they worked with me through email to find a suitable replacement. I chose the handspun tam in saffron color. They adjusted the price difference and shipped it promptly. It turned out to be great. I love the color, quality and fit. Thanks!

Sweet little cover
I bought it to show Scottish and Veteran pride. Decked it our with the US Army Clan badge and it's sharp. Well made and I'm happy to have it.

Perfect fit
I accidentally bought a 7 3/8 instead of a 7 1/4, the fit was perfect so I would say that they might run a tad small. This is a great cap.

My military-style Balmoral is outstanding in style, fit, construction and overall quality. Kilts-n-Stuff had it in my mailbox in a few short days in perfect condition. I can't wait for cooler weather to wear it.

Besides being American born with Scottish roots, I'm a big WWI, WWII buff and have always wanted a Scotch bonnet of that style/era. This bonnet is extremely nice, and well fitted. I really like the color and of course will wear it on a regular basis with regular attire. It would also do well for a 1750s Rogers Rangers bonnet. Thanks again for the great service and product!
