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.

Review from Dan C.
Been buying from the Croft for over half a decade now, starting with my first kilt - this, like all other merchandise they offer, is accurately described, durable, and well priced - holds a clan badge and hackles like a dream.

Celtic Croft always delivers what they say they will, even if it takes a really long time sometimes.
