Purple Bonnet

A decorated purple beret or bonnet 

This cap is made of a bright purple velvet-like fabric

Decorated with a feather, beads and binding.

The cap would fit what is called the renaissance period

An elasticated headband makes it one size fits all (unless youre an alien)

Glengarry hat

I found this bargain Scottish Glengary Hat on Etsy

Made of wool and excellent quality, it features a small pompom in the dip of the crown and black ribbon ready to receive a badge, plume or broach.

The Glengarry hat became the standard hat of Scottish regiments in the British Army around 1860.

Apparently, in the military, the hat should be worn steeply angled, something I did not do in these photos. When I look at other photos however most people seem to wear it straight like me.

A must for anyone who plays Bagpipers I think.

Muffin Bonnet

 This very bright magenta coloured hat is constructed like a muffin cap with a lot of access fabric fixed to a headband.

There is so much extra fabric however that the headband is hidden, plus it all crinkly and uneven so I can't really call it a muffin cap.

It kinda looks like a turban, also like a women slouchy baggy beanie, but it is none of those either

Maybe I could call it a Muffin bonnet.

But really this hat goes in the as yet uncategorised pile.

Worn with some equally bright colours to make it not look too ridiculous

Tam O'shanter

A Tam O'Shanter is flat cap distinguished by woollen ball on top of the cap

The woollen ball, mini pom-pom is also called a Toorie and adorns many Scottish military or Highland dress.

Originally a Tam O'shanter would have been made of wool and would lie much flatter than this one.

A Tam O'shanter is basically a beret with a pom-pom on top.

The khaki cap here (or similar) was introduced in 1915 for wear in the trenches by Scottish infantry serving on the Western Front. This came to be known as the 'Tam o' Shanter' later abbreviated to 'ToS' by the army.
