    Thoughts on "Jaunty" Glengarry Angle?

    What do you think of the angular wearing of a glengarry, as opposed to letting it sit straight on top of the head? I like it, but the tails/ribbons don't sit well.

    ... it actually depends on the shape of your head and face. Honest!

    I always wear mine at an angle and let the ribbons fall as they may. Did the same with my white sailor's hat as soon as I got out of sight of the ship.

    I have what you could call a rather large head and round face if you were to ask me anyhow my measurement is 23" not sure if its big or not lol but I'm also in a pipe band so when I'm sporting my glen I usually have it cocked to the max so to say. I think it shows a bit of attitude and spunk. After all, when I'm all dressed up I do feel like a rock star

    I wear my Glen approximately level front to back, with the tails centered, but two fingers above my left eyebrow and just one above my right eyebrow. Gives it a bit of a tilt without going too far over to the side of my head.

    That's how I wear my balmoral, although I may occasionally give it an ever-so-slightly greater pull to the right. It gives it a nice look, IMHO.
