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.

Very pleased. It's well made, good color. The note about them running a little small was very helpful. I went up a size after reading that and it fits very well. Thank you.

Review from Howard Patton
I bought one of these last year. I problem is with the sizing. If I had bought a large, it would have been 5/8" too large. I bought a medium and it is 1/8" too small. Unfortunately the glengarry is sized the same way. No use in investing in one.

Review from M.H.
Looks like the genuine article. Please DO heed the warnings to go one size up. I normally find 7 3/8 to be exactly MY size, but in this case ordered a 7 1/2 and am glad I did. The only problem is that when I'm wearing it I find myself looking over my shoulder to make certain that the RSM does not catch me being "idle".
