Tartan identification
Hi everyone,
Could you please help me to identify the tartan on this Canadian made tam o' shanter? I've looked everywhere with no luck. Thanks, Jeff. |

Hi Jeff
I'll have a quick look in my grandfather's tartan book that he bought in Edinburgh in 1920. He was descended from MacLean of Duart and he wrote a note to this effect in the front! Just a thought but if you have a Scottish regalia shop near you, they are very good at this type of request! |

I am away from my notes but it looks like that worn by 252 Fd Amb

Tartan
Holes are too wide for a RAMC, RCT, RASC or QA badge.

MacDonald Tartan
Good call on that tartan especially as the Balmoral label is post-SWW.

Looks like the Lewis tailor's shop is located in Truro Nova Scotia.

That’s interesting because from what I read, the name Eastern Hat and Cap Manufacturing Co. as seen on the label was changed to Lewis Ltd in 1936?

Balmoral
The unissued Eastern Hat and Cap Manufacturing Co. example Balmoral I have in my collection is undated but marked with a Canadian Ordnance post-SWW acceptance stamp.
