Mystery Scottish Bonnet
Since this is not a badge, I've refrained from posting it in the mystery section.
This headgear was discovered in the same shop as the Royal Highland Fusiliers ToS I posted last week. The dicing is red, white and dark green, which I read was also used on the RHF glengarry, as well as some other regiments. I just don't know which regiment wore a bonnet like this. Being found in Texas, there is also a likelihood of Canadian use. There are numerous small holes along the dicing and just above it, which may be where a rosette was sewn, a badge was attached, or it could be just wear and moth nips. I can't tell. The lining has been cut out, the same as last week's ToS. The blue material is shapeless and is only off to the side in the photos because I don't know how it was originally shaped. I eagerly await your learned opinions! Thanks in advance, Chris |

That had crossed my mind, although there are no creases and the way the tails are connected to the body, I don't think it would fold flat. I wonder, is there is a version not designed to lay flat?
