Jock's New Balmoral

[thescot]

Jock you have perfectly illustrated what I've advocated for a long time, i.e., adjust your bonnet before wearing it by soaking and drying and fitting! I always give mine a soaking in the sink since I don't have a bern nearby.

The best advice you gave is "patience." Don't rush the process. To make a bonnet look googd and well-worn, you really do have to spend a few days on it. But the end product will be worth the time it takes.

Can't wait to see it when you're all done. Thanks for the photos. That is one very fine bonnet.

December's Alexandria Scottish Christmas Walk did a pretty good job of the whole process.
