How to dawn your Balmoral properly

Sorry about the spellcheck. My pc changed it and I didn't notice....

What Jock said. Here's a few photos of me in my Balmoral(s).

And many Balmorals, too. A doo-lander by our Lady Chrystel.

Looks great! I see what I am doing "wrong" I wear the badge closer into my left eye which in turns make the area that you pull down over yout right ear more severe, like a beret. Thanks for all the great info guys

No worries! We have all been frustrated and a bit puzzled by forum software that doesn't allow OP to edit their own thread title. Just a bit of good fun. You're getting good advice despite the peanut gallery LOL

Another style of wearing a balmoral for you to consider.

[Steve Ashton]

And two more ways.

I like your tie Mr Ashton. Brilliant way to use your tools.

Balmorals are one of those things about Highland Dress which have had great continuity.

Here's a very early photo of one being worn



Here are a number of prestigious gents wearing them



Here are Balmorals in 1945



and in 1936



And as worn today by The Black Watch



Now in the 19th century bonnets are sometimes bigger or smaller than usual

These are great pics. Very informative and gives us a look back. We look just like our forefathers did, very nice.
