Tossing the Torrie

[Leprechaun 91]

Greetings Rabble,

Lets see if that title gets a few eyes to roll.

So I loved my Beret when in service. My wife loves the look as well. I know some here like the look and think of it with a kilt as a reasonable analogue to the Balmoral Bonnet but I am not so sure.

I like the look of the Bal but I hate the toorie (ball / Puff / Pom-Pom - whatever) It looks fine on others but I really don't like it on me. For the record, I cannot stand the "nipple" on the French beret either. It just seems to break the lines. That being said, what are the thoughts of the Rabble on the removal of said offending portion of this otherwise venerable headgear? I like the caubeen but is can be a bit large. The new Scot's Bonnets as seen in Outlander are quite large also but seem to lack the torrie.

aaaaand... GO!
