Thinking of nabbing a bonnet

[sirdaniel1975]

Does anyone own one of the older style bonnets from the Museum?

Yes, I have a broad blue bonnet from the S.T.M. (Scottish Tartans Museum) 8 years ago.



I have a 22" head and it fits perfect with enough room to tighten it slightly.
I believe it was machine made. I'm not sure if it's the exact one they offer now. I make my own bonnets now a days...

Like this one:



I'm in the S.T.M. about twice a month as a costumer, and I asure you that any accessories you're contemplating from them is well worth it.

Oh yeah, I know! I should have a package arriving tomorrow from the Tartan Museum. And then another package a couple weeks out from there. One learns patience in these things though, as most sites have delivery times that seem to be close to the same (a few weeks, especially if you are of the larger persuasion... they have to get the items, then send them to you, as sizes for larger guys are rarely kept on hand). Save for places like SWK, where they sell what's on hand in their online store, and have a seperate little page for their catalog.

Everything so far has been well worth the wait too. So I really cannot complain there. I can however, be anxious, chew my nails, be eager... ha ha ha. So, those older style bonnets seem like a good buy then, especially if they are adjusted to fit with a ribbon.

I got a navy blue balmoral from the old tartanweb site when it was still a family business. Sadly they were swallowed up by one of the big operations. Its a real quality product that I wear often. I'm sorry they're gone now.
