Diced Tam and Cap Badge?

I agree with Scott. And when I mentioned a re-enactor's bonnet, I am talking about such bonnets as the Kilmarnock, the old Highland 'broad bonnet', etc - not bonnets that basically are, or have the look of the modern Balmoral/Glengarry. I think yours looks great, I love the brown colour with the black of the Hanoverian cockade!

Thanks so much, to both you and MoR, for weighing in! That was really a question that I've been wondering about for quite some time, but for whatever reason, I've not really asked yet. Thanks also for the props on color and soforth. As it were, this is my own favorite bonnet color.

I must say that I'm really quite relieved to hear your thoughts on the matter... if Jock were to comment as well, I'd have the Traditional Trifecta.

Jock? Are you out there, sir? ith:

But yes- This just goes to show what a difference one's choice of bonnet adornment makes, as the only real difference between this bonnet and many later 18th century ones is the badge and cockade (and likely the color, of course). So, to the OP, whatever bonnet you choose- pick what you wear upon it carefully.

I agree with Scott. And when I mentioned a re-enactor's bonnet, I am talking about such bonnets as the Kilmarnock style, the old Highland 'broad bonnet', grotesquely huge tams, etc - not bonnets that basically are, or have the look of the modern Balmoral/Glengarry. I think yours looks great, I love the brown colour with the black of the Hanoverian cockade! Well done Ryan!
