    McFarkus,

    I picked up at a local hat shop for a whopping $8 or $10. Most hat stores have them (though generally with the ladies hats) in stacks with multiple colors. They tend to have a looser weave (if I'm describing that right) and are thicker than the military style berets with the leather trim and ribbons in back. I think they are a nice (and reasonably priced)alternative to a balmoral bonnet. They give an outfit a less flashy look as a balmoral as well.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    I've been waiting for everyone to have a chance to read Panache and Star's review.

    Guys, thank you for a wonderful photo shoot. You do our work proud. I'll make sure Erin sees these in the morning when she gets to the shop.

    It was a great pleasure to work with Jamie and Star on these Kilts. We had quite a few Skype calls back and forth working out the pockets, Pleating, and details. It really makes a difference when the owner has a say and input to their Kilt.

    So, to you both, again, thank you. Wear them for many years, in good health.
