Canadian Army Khaki Balmoral Dated 1957 Size 6 3/4

The Canadian Army Khaki Balmoral dated 1957, size 6 3/4, is a traditional military headdress used by Canadian armed forces during the mid-20th century. The Balmoral bonnet, featuring a flat, rounded shape and soft wool construction, is closely associated with regimental dress and ceremonial occasions. This specific example is produced in khaki-colored wool, a shade selected for its practicality and its alignment with mid-century military uniform standards. The interior carries a period-correct label, indicating the date of manufacture as 1957 and specifying the size as 6 3/4. Features include a black silk cockade on one side and a narrow ribbon tail at the rear, design elements consistent with Canadian military specifications of the era. Items like this were commonly worn by Highland regiments and demonstrate the continuity of British and Commonwealth dress traditions within the Canadian Army. This piece represents a standard issue headdress from post-World War II Canadian military history.
