Bonnets
Looks great! May I ask how the pricing compares to the price originally offered by Robert Mackie?
Cheers,
David

Wow your Balmoral looks perfect!
I'm so happy to see Mackies return to production.
To do the various colours the way Mackie did in the past requires the correct ribbon colours (in three different widths) and correct tourie colours.
I wonder if they have all the colours to hand.
Then there's the dicing. Are they set up to knit it? Or do they have a stock of dicing in various colours?
I'm trying to remember their old range of bonnet colours...am I missing any?
Navy Blue
black
fawn
Lovat blue
Lovat green
bottle green
royal blue
sky blue
red
claret/maroon
brown
khaki drab (military)

Richard, I have a Robert Mackie 'Traditional Scottish Headwear' brochure from 2021. It lists all the colors you have except brown and khaki drab. Also, sky blue is Saxe blue. Scotland Shop does not offer faun, maroon, Lovet blue or Saxe blue.

This made-to-order bonnet with standard tracking shipping and 1% currency conversion charge from my bank cost $135 USD. I am quite pleased.
