The first two posts on this thread are from guys in Ontario, does that have any significance? Just a thought (not much of one). Looking at the link that is really kind of neat. I must think about it, and may just end up getting one myself.

Seems like pretty decent prices too. I've put them on my Favorites list.

Yah...I've bookmarked them as well...the Balmorals look pretty choice and I was thinking of getting one for me and one for my daughter for Christmas. Good resource...thanks for the heads up. best AA
I've not been a big fan of the Glengarry... But this one has peeked my interest! It even comes in a big enough size to fit my big head!!!:grin: I think the price is real reasonable too..

I've spoken to this guy through email a couple of times. He started the business because he had been trying to find a full dress piper's uniform for his son. He was so shocked by the price of doublets, etc that he started trying to find less expensive alternatives. After much research he came up with the products on his site. If you click "about us" at the site it will tell you the whole story. Shane
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. Shane
did the model used to be in village people?
