Here's a very loud and goofy balmoral I made for an elderly gentleman who is intellectually disabled and blind. The colours are what was left over from other bonnets and it's bright so it won't get lost at his home. The cockade is totally over-the-top and large along with an old pendant sewn on, as a pinned badge would be unsafe. He thought it was great fun and kept touching and feeling all the different bits of the bonnet for sensory input. Then had a great time adjusting the angle of it on his head (I think 'Jocking' it would be a bit much for the old boy.

Special indeed. Well done madam.

Good work!!
A special gift for an obvious special gent. He will attract attention with such a great cap. I hope the best for his future wearing. If he is pleased, your job was a gift that makes memories worth having.
That's nice! What a nice thing to do.
Very well done! I hope you had as much fun making it as he will no doubt have wearing it! there is something magical about an item made with a touch of whimsy and fun, those are the ones most cherished.

And if a colourful Balmoral is not a bit of whimsy... ...amidst a sea of "dork hats" (Aussie for baseball caps, "because people look like dorks wearing them")... ...what is? May he wear your kind gift with joy.
Great design and great thought to take care!
What a lovely thing to do.
