So I was searching the net for hats, something I could wear with my kilts. I stumbled upon this site and was wondering if anyone has dealt with them?

Most of their stuff seems nice.

Thanks for that link Dave, has me browsing. Check out the incredible tunics!

Would think that suppliers that focus on bands would HAVE to maintain good service to keep the repeat customers they need.

Thanks for the link, I've ordered a Balmoral, they have a much bigger range than I've ever seen.

I purchased one of their "Black Night" leather Glengarries.

Nice hat, fast response. It arrived within a week of PayPal purchase to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region.

Thanks for the site lising. Also, it may be an additional source for future kilts. I've now learned what a caubeen is.

I have a navy balmoral without dicing, since commissioned officers apparently don't wear the dicing. I may purchase a non-diced glengarry or two from this site as well.

Historical note re: dicing: is that it represents support for England. What's your historical take on diced balmorals and glengarries?

"Opinion: The "Orange" in William of Orange represents Williams origins (Dutch "Orange" party, eventually to become the house of Hanover), and any Scot who wears the "diced" Balmoral hat with red checkered pattern, is saying essentially that they, support William's British (now more English than Scottish) government -- English domination of their own Scottish traditions. Most think it means a loyalty to Protestanism. "

How did you do that, when the list price is $44? I've been eyeballing those green caubeens for a while.

I have dicing on my Glengarry and Balmoral because I happen to like it.

Even though I may at the time have drunk a toast to "the little gentleman in the velvet."
