The Balmoral
The Balmoral is a traditional Scottish hat that can be worn as part of formal or informal Highland dress. Dating back to at least the 16th century. We’ve been told by many o’ Scotsmen that the ribbon in back should be tied in a bow to show that you are married or left untied to show that you are available.

The Balmoral is lined which makes it a step up from the offerings by other companies, and at a very reasonable price given the quality. The size chart provided a perfect fit for me. I ordered the dark green (my clan chief’s preference) and it ws a lovely deep green shade with a nice matching green toorie. I’m very happy with the cap and with the service I received.

I got a funky head and thot it may not fit right but a few days later it fits great and looks awesome. Lots of compliments.
Don M –

This hat was purchased as a gift. A friend of mine saw me wearing my hat, and she simply had to try it on. She loved how it looked on her — very nice if I say so myself — and she exclaimed, “Oh, I want one.” So I purchased this one for her. She is extremely happy with her new hat.
Allen S –
Good quality bonnet at a very good price and delivery was prompt! I wish I had read the Reviews before ordering, however, because I went by the sizing chart and one size larger would have fit me better.
Steve –
Could not be more pleased. Excellent product and service.
RC –
I cant say thank you enough to the Celtic Croft for the superb customer service in handling our full bands transition from Glengarry’s to their AHBO1 Balmoral in plain dark green. The Balmorals are well made with quality craftsmanship and at a much needed price break.
Sarah B –
I am extremely happy with my purchase. It was exactly what I wanted and my package actually came a day early. If I ever need Celtic stuff again, I’m definitely ordering from this site.
Wilson –
I am amazed and very happy. Happy because the replacement cap is a perfect fit. Amazed because you have totally stood behind your product in sending me the replacement on trust with prepaid UPS return label. I am now one of your most pleased customers and would recommend your firm for all things Celtic. I would be happy for you to use my endorsement on your website and in your marketing.
Scott W. –
Very nice, although others have stated the sizing is a bit small.. Order one size larger!
Wilson –
Very nice product. Problem is with sizing. Based upon actual measurement of my head I ordered by chart and cap is a bit small and tight
Gary B. –
I’m very pleased with the item … fits well and appears to be well-made.
Garandpa –
Nice quality tammy for the money. Well constructed and shaped and comfortable to wear. My normal size is 7 3/8, but the 7 1/2 fit perfectly.

Ordered a Balmoral w/black & white dicing. Received
hat without dicing? All other procedures and delivery
were exceptional
Jeff –
The quality of this Balmoral is beyond what I expected. Croft specializes in high quality!
Rob –
Balmoral is well constructed and should last a good long time. Size is a bit small. I ordered a 7 3/4 but it fits closer to a 7 1/2. Fortunately I normally wear a 7 5/8 so that’s not a big issue.
Henry –
Just a wee bit big but, that’s ok, I have a Mohawk & that’s to be expected. Love the plain dark green, goes great with my kilt & fly plaid.
A+ on delivery time to the US. Keep up the great work!
Mike M. –
I bought two Balmorals for our clubs Honor Guard. I am very pleased with the quality and fit. Will be purchasing more in the future.
Darwin C –
You guys out did yourself again!
Bob E –
Since the picture of the black showed a black torrie, I was surprised when it arrived with a red torrie. Other than that, the quality and fit is better than I’ve seen other places.
Jessica N –
Great fit! I got this for my dad for christmas and he never took it off the whole day!
David M. –
Perfect fit, excellent quality and my clan pin looks great on it.
Greg M. –
Very nice fit, sizing is right on the money & quality is very good. Shipping was pretty quick, mine was in stock.
Dan C. –
Been buying from the Croft for over half a decade now, starting with my first kilt – this, like all other merchandise they offer, is accurately described, durable, and well priced – holds a clan badge and hackles like a dream.
Al Zelt –
Very high quality and worth the waite.
