What are the Scottish hats called?

Let’s talk history! Scottish hats have been around for quite some time, whether we’re talking about the Tam o’Shanter, Balmoral Bonnets, Glengarry hats, or flat caps. Ever since the 16th century, Scottish men have been adorning their outfits with these headwear pieces. 
When it comes to traditional Scottish hat styles, we’ll look at the Tam. It’s usually made of wool and easily recognizable thanks to a pom-pom on top. The Balmoral bonnet, also known as a "Highland bonnet," is named after Balmoral Castle and features a voluminous body with a decorated band. Glengarry hats were initially worn by military regiments, later evolving into a more fashionable piece. They are shaped like a truncated cone with a rounded top and flat bottom, boasting a rosette cockade and ribbons hanging down the back. 
But, the most popular hat in Scotland today is the flat cap, worn by men for its practicality and timeless style. Flat caps can be traced back to 14th-century England, but they gained attention two centuries later in Scotland, too. Their allure lies in the rounded yet fitted body that sits close to the head, with several bands sewed together at the back and a short brim. They come in many variations, like touring, Kerry, or trinity caps - and you can find them all right here. 

Traditional Tartan Designed Caps for Men

Besides the variety of styles, our Scottish hats stand out due to an array of plaid and tartan designs that carry deep meanings. Tartan is a criss-crossed pattern representing Scottish clans and their heritage. Did you know each lineage had its unique tartan? They could even identify each other based on the colors and lines they wore. Plaid also features intertwining lines and it’s just as popular in the Highlands. To add an extra dash of symbolism, our hats come in many vibrant hues that allude to the rolling hills of Scotland and the rugged natural beauty this country is appreciated for. So, when you’re wearing our hats, you’re also wearing a piece of Highlander culture. 

We’re committed to quality, offering hats crafted with attention to detail, from premium Harris Tweed. This material is exclusively woven in the Outer Hebrides of the Highlands and protected by British law. Since it’s made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun locally, Harris Tweed is synonymous with quality and authenticity. Its coarse texture and high durability ensure your cap will last for years to come.
