My New Mackie Balmore, Love It, the Lovat.....

[CollinMacD]

Greetings all,

I still think of all the Scottish Headwear that I have, my Robert Mackie hats are far the best made and fit the best. Normally, all I get is the standard black or navy blue, but me wife wanted me to get something much more daring, or as she put it, stylish. So, I decided to get a new Balmore to go with my MacDonald Clanranald Ancient Tartan. I chose the Balmoral Diced by Robert Mackie (Lovat Green).

Please I am not trying to be vain, but I really wanted to share the hat, as I think the color is beautiful and goes so well with my family tartan. I know the unspoken rule is black or navy, but boy I do like the change, thinking about getting the Lovat Blue also....



The occasion was going to a Scottish Pub to listen to Scottish Music with the St. Andrews Society of DC, and here is a photo of myself and wife... It was a very bone chilling cold, damp, misty/rainy Sunday, and the pub really was so much fun....Thanks for looking, and I highly recommend Robert Mackie headgear....just the best there is. CHEERS.

The MacDonald's, Wife is wearing the Nova Scotia Tartan, she decided she would like to honor my Ancestors, so bought a few things with this tartan, and she love it. She picked this skirt up on eBay for $15.00, and we found out it was made in Halifax, and is a full 100% wool, 11 ounce.
