| | | My Balmoral (or waiting for my Clan Badge)
The mail man delivered my Navy Blue Balmoral from glengarryhats today, I am still trying to get used to it as I am not much of a hat person, however I did want something to put the new X-Marks Clan Badge on, this also explains the colour choice I made. Unfortunately my Clan Badge has not shown up as yet, but when it does I'll be ready.
I ordered a 7 1/4" Balmoral as this is the size of my other hats, I've found it to be a bit tight fitting this may be due to the fact that as I said I'm not much of a hat person. Once the X-Marks Clan Badge arrives I will of course get pictures of it and most likely wear the X-Marks Tartan Kilt as well.
It is as far as I can tell a very well made Balmoral and if I do need to have another I will order from Glengarry Hats again, you just need a wee bit of patience but it is well worth it in the end. Here is a hastily taken self portrait:

Very nice! I wish I could get my hubby to wear one of these (he's not much of a hat person, either). Looking forward to seeing it with the Clan Badge!

That looks great Glen! I like the balmoral caps from glengarryhats a lot and think they are rather dashing.
(Then again I'm biased)  
Cheers

Glen,
The other great thing about the Royal Blue color balmoral is that it is going to look fantastic with your CCK X Marks the Scot tartan kilt!
Cheers
Jamie

Looks good, Glen. I scrug mine closer to the brow, but we each have our preference. I wear a 7-3/8" and my Caubeen from Glengarryhats.com fits a bit loose. I'm fine with that fit as I could stand to loosen up a bit myself.

Jack I tried it close to my brow, however I found it a bit uncomfortable, I think I may just be somewhere between 7 1/4" and 7 1/2".
