New Balmoral-Jock's as a Motivation!
I just placed an order with Chris (Redshanks), for a fawn Balmoral bonnet with fawn and lovat green dicing and the ribbons tied in a bow. I'll be sure to properly 'break it in' upon its arrival, as well as stitch the bow in place. Chris was extremely helpful and I saved money ordering my Robert Mackie bonnet from him! Can't beat the price for such an excellent, well made, and highest quality Balmoral bonnet-I am truly a most satisfied and happy customer indeed. I can't wait to receive it!!! Photos are forthcoming.
P.S.-Jock, my fellow Highland Scot, I realize that your bonnet is indeed bespoke, and custom made to your specs, I just love the fawn color, and once I saw the green incorporated into the dicing, such as in yours, I knew that was for me as well! Thanks for the inspiration mate! Slainte mhath!
Here is the website where I ordered my new Balmoral (they also have a superb selection of hose from the House of Cheviot):

Well done Kyle. Can't wait to see you in it, and maybe your method of breaking it in as well.
Sounds like Chris took good care of you too.

Well there I go, setting a trend again, where will it all end? No don't answer that!!!! 
Out of interest, are you having the top bit(crown?) made smaller like mine, or are you sticking with the standard issue?

Me too.
I'm jealous and looking forward to the pics....I do like the fawn color...I like the one that somebody had for sale on here too...just not my size and I'm poor right now anyways. The bonnet and/or glengarry will just have to wait.
