Help me pick a caubeen

[Brian Boru]

Peacekeeper,
There is also Alexis Malcolm Kilts ( www.alexismalcolmkilts.com) that offer caubeens, I have one each of theirs, a green RIR and a black civilian model, they also offer the Canadian type ($60.00) that has a lower crown and rosette and ribbons. They have hackles and other pins you can put on and each one comes with a badge tab / stiffener inside so that it supports whatever type of badge you put on them. I have my pewter Irish family badge (Duffey) on the green one and a Irish Harp badge on the black one. They have a size chart, just measure your head and then check what size in cm you need, they also adjust with a hidden velcro tab in the band. The black one's peak stands taller than the military green one. Malcolm's get them from the manufacturer who supplies them to the Canadian military, I think. They are $70.00 + shipping by priority mail. I'm quite pleased with both of mine, and Mrs. Malcolm is a pleasure to talk with.

Cheers,

Brian
