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.

Available Sizes:

  • 6.75 – 54 cm – 21 7/8"

  • 7 – 56 cm – 22"

  • 7.25 – 58 cm – 22 5/8"

  • 7.5 – 60 cm – 23 1/2"

  • 7.75 – 62 cm – 24 1/5"

  • 8 – 64 cm – 25"

Bullet Points:

  • Inspired by WWI-era Khaki Balmoral worn by Scottish soldiers

  • Still used by modern military units, including the Royal Regiment of Scotland

  • Traditional tan/olive green color in Celtic Croft’s signature greenish khaki

  • Excellent for Highland dress, reenactments, or casual historical style

  • Available in multiple sizes for the perfect fit

  • A timeless symbol of service, bravery, and Scottish pride

    I received and it fits true to size. Comfy and warm. Went on a 2 hour hike here in NJ in 35 degree weather w/ dogs. Warm and classy. Love it! Received positive comments on the commuter train into NYC as well!

    I like it, the fit is good and I like the colour and the nice warm thick wool. The crown diameter is a bit small for my taste but that is a personal preference. This size of crown looks more like a military style than civilian to my eye.

    Fantastic. Looks great, feels great!. Sizing was dead on. I can always depend on the "Croft" for quality.

    Sizing was appropriate. Good looking balmoral. Looks great with the hackle and the clan pin.

    Fits good and the price is right. It is a properly made military ToS. I just need to add a piece of tartan backing and a regimental badge.

    Just the right 'old green' shade of khaki. Great fit and very durable.

    Looks great, fits nicely. Wish it came with pre-made holes for badges instead of me having to cut holes and fray material.

    Great bonnet for casual wear. You could even wear it with ordinary clothes without looking too excentric.
