Re: Glengarry Question
If I may I would point out that the Glengarry was so popular as a military head dress that between 1868 and 1897, the glengarry was adopted as an undress cap for most infantry regiments in the British army (not just the Scottish). In 1937, they adopted , the Universal Pattern Field Service Cap (used by the British Army in World War II) described as "similar in shape to the Glengarry." From this style cap the U.S. Army adopted the "Garrison" or "Overseas" cap familiar to generations of GI's and Boy scouts. I prefer the Balmoral (I own diced and plain), but occasionally wear a Glengarry.
