House of Labhran specialise in Scottish military items, and Robert Mackie is the supplier of bonnets to the MoD.
Interesting point Mark. 
I'm really not sure who makes them for House of Labhran. All I know is theirs is also "made in Scotland" & their hat person is a woman. Other than that they planned to utilize the khaki wool that is current army issue for berets etc.
If true then this throws a whole new wrinkle into my plans...
Does anyone know if Mackie actually supplies the bonnets carried by the House of Labhran?
