    scottish made headdress

    Hello there,

    i am looking for a new glengarry cap. I want to avoid a cheap copy from pakistan although i find it hard to find out where a cap was made while shopping. I tried to look for a company in scotland which produces them. Didn´t find any maker????? It´s easy for sporrans for example but does anybody know a "glengarry maker"?

    I second what Piipriker said!

    My German's a bit rusty, but the important thing is very clear here: Dunadd Trading Company is tip-top for headwear. The quality is excellent and the customer service is second to none.

    Thank you very much. I see he is selling the headress made by Robert Mackie. Yes that seems to be the best producer and no doubt, it´s scottish :-)

    Every Glengarry and Balmoral I've ever owned, as far as I can recall, since I got my first one back around 1975, has had this identical label in it



    The photo above is from a Scottish-made Balmoral that I bought, new, two years ago. In my hand I have a black Balmoral that I bought in the early 1980s which I still wear on a regular basis; it looks like new. The label in it is precisely the same.

    Münster kenne ich. Habe dort mal ein halbes Jahr gearbeitet. Unsere Firma hat dort auch einen Standort (kein Telekomiker, sondern Konkurrenz der GAD). In WAF war ich noch nicht, ist aber ein Begriff ;-)
