That is one very fine and handsome bonnet.
And I very much look forward to a pictorial guide to "Jock's Balmoral Bonnet Customising Process"!

Eyes shut Paula? Okay then the first thing I do is put a couple of discreet stitches through the bow just to the right and left of the bow knot. Having done that and I have decided that I don't like the lopsided "flying saucer" look, I proceed to the nearest burn(stream), fill the bonnet up with stones and throw it in!
Leave for a day, submerged, and then recover it and let it dry.
Knock it about a bit, and then drown it again.
More to come in due course.

...and I've heard such horror stories about members of the US armed services soaking, shaving and flambe-ing their berets...obviously they can't hold a candle to this absolutely medieval treatment of a poor, innocent piece of headgear. What is this? The Inquisition?

Well, he obviously doesn't want to show up wearing what looks like a brand new bonnet lest everyone thinks that he's suddenly come into some money and is putting on airs.

That description of Jock's method is hilarious!
