Robert Mackie bonnets on Ebay

That is a fantastic color IMHO

It is. I do wonder if it's Saxe Blue but just showing up dark in the photos.

Hard to imagine that photos could change Saxe Blue into that, though.

The Mackie blues are being tough for me to pin down.

I thought I'd seen a Sky Blue, clearly different from their Saxe Blue, but I can't find a photo of a bonnet like that. Maybe it was just a faded Saxe Blue bonnet?

I know I've seen a Royal Blue, deeper and more intense than Saxe Blue, but I can't seem to find a definitive photo of that either.

Mackie Balmoral with label, size 58 or 7 3/8, $35.

Looks to be in good condition.

After so many diced ones, it's nice to see a plain black one.

Note it has a black tourie. When I worked in a shop which stocked Mackie bonnets the plain Navy Blue ones came with a red tourie and the plain black ones came with a black tourie.

if that is a UK 7-1/8, then it stands a reasonable chance of fitting. Worth the gamble to me.
