Which one?

[ForresterModern]

Well, well, well look who has turned up! As to the meaning of diced flat caps------I have no idea. Well, on second thoughts, actually I have, but I am quite sure the mods would not appreciate the answer!


I will see if I have a picture of a duck egg green bonnet lurking somewhere.I wish I could find a supplier, but I have been trying to find a replacement for years now. This bonnet must be well over twenty years old and well used,abused even,so the colour will have faded somewhat. Here you go, the bonnet,Annie and me.

Hi Jock!! Actually my "mischief" had a purpose, beside seeing the bonnie bonnet as well as the bonnie lass, I wanted to see your bonnie face again, as we so rarely do "see" you these days. I love the color of that hat---similar to one I saw on a photo posted a few weeks ago by Sandy of his Clan Maclean gathering.

I have found fawn(tan), lovat green, lovat blue, red, maroon, navy blue, royal blue, and forest green, as well as black and something called saxe blue (no idea exactly what color that is) Balmorals and the similar Beret Tam (sans the rosette and tails) diced and undiced but have not come across that off-olive lighter green tan coloration that yours is.

My envy abounds, with regards your headwear, your lovely companion, and your surroundings. What more could one actually hope for in this life.

Thanks Jeff, as you know I am up for a spot of "mischief" myself and I could have put money on you chipping in! Where is your partner in crime,Mr Z-----? Since my accident I am afraid I have been more than a bit sensitive about photographs of me, particularly head shots, silly really, but I am getting over all that nonsense now and when I get home next week I have every intention of getting a few pictures taken. All I need is an influx of some much needed energy and I promise a few pictures before long. Honest guv!

Here is a picture,not very good, of the grey coloured bonnet that is often worn these days.

Just another good reason for wearing a bonnet, what?

Love the grey balmoral---yet another color I haven't come across in my searches.

Be well my friend.

This looks exactly like my "fawn" balmoral, made by Robert Mackie. I'd love to find one like yours, Jock, with the blue dicing.

Cordially,

I generally wear bonnets with diced bands--but not always! Here is my favourite bonnet:
