Balmoral Bonnet...

**Pipersson** · 3rd June 13, 03:58 PM

Hi guys!

After hesitating for a while I am now going for a Balmorel bonnet (by Robert Mackie of course) in navy blue...for in my hometown Hamburg we have a proverb: It doesn't matter which colour you wear as long as it is navy blue)
No, seriously.
I like navy blue and it goes well with formal and informal wear BUT!!!
Diced or not that's the question.
Please let me know your opinion!

Thanks and

Tom

If it were me I'd go for the no dicing.

To me, it's all personal taste. Either looks smashing, but I tend to lean toward a solid color Balmoral.

Make that three for no dicing!

Astonishing...i thought diced bonnets are pretty popular...

Four for no dicing.

Do you prefer undiced in general or only with navy blue...I saw lovat green diced f.g. which I find quite attractive.

This might be because some regiments wear them and tourists think that is what you need.
"Just mixed up my bonnets, was thinking about Glengarry with dicing"

Still, not diced

Thompson speaks about diced bonnets as a military inspired but civillian style...

Dicing the same color of the bonnet is quite nice. The navy blue bonnets I've seen have the red and black/blue dicing which I find to look military, band, or costume looking.
