Thanks, Moosedog.

Ted, don't get too fired up on all this matching thing. I think your bonnet can be any colour you choose. Mine, I wear with everything, is a beaten up duck egg green(I can't get that colour any more) or my greeny grey coloured thing(I don't like it much).Pick one you like and don't bother about it, after that.

Oh... I'm sorry Jock Scot, I had just read that the traditional color is navy blue, and wasn't sure if other colors were acceptable. I would actually prefer a lighter blue bonnet for some reason. I'm trying to sort through it all, and trying to understand how the bonnets are to be worn.

I mean, I can't look at the pictures.

Ted,for some one in your shoes the balmoral is dead easy! Could'nt be easier in fact! As you know, the balmoral has a bow on the back, all you have to do is centre the bow knot on the back of your head(by feel) and the rest is correct! Then run your finger around the rim, to get the height right around your brow, ears etc. and Bob's your uncle, its correctly placed on your head! I do that all the time, particularly if there is no mirror to hand.
