Leather Glengarry

[Iolaus]

Hmmm, that's interesting. When I went to the web to find out where the Glengarry came from, I found this bit of trivia on Scotweb Store,

"Some wearers of the Balmoral used to wear it puffed up on the head and creased down the middle, which became a new style of hat called the Glengarry. By late Victorian times the British Army had adopted this type of hat for their working uniforms..."

So, is there any important tradition associated with this style of headwear? ...or is it now simply another Scottish hat to wear?

Nowadays it's just another hat. It is however still commonly worn in the military and in civilian pipe bands.

I bet it becomes popular (the leather hat, that is).

I just got it in the mail today. Perfect fit. It's going to look great with the leather Utilikilt.

Nonetheless, I like the hat and have bookmarked the site.

I looks great with the leather UK, sporran and New Rock boots. I'd just got in from shopping and running errands and took off the black cable-knit sweater I was wearing with the outfit.

I was sporting this ensemble at the monthly kilt night at Devil's Canyon Brewing Company in Belmont, California. We meet there the last friday of every month.

I think I'm too "conservative" to like leather kilts and hats

Which is why I'm not one to give fashion advice. My taste in clothing frightens children and small animals.
