British Gordon Highlanders Diced Balmoral Size 7 1/4

The British Gordon Highlanders Diced Balmoral, sized 7 1/4, is a traditional military cap historically worn by the Gordon Highlanders regiment of the British Army. The Balmoral cap, recognized for its rounded shape and soft wool construction, features a distinctive red-and-white diced band around the base, a characteristic element associated with Scottish regiments. This particular example is representative of standard-issue headgear from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, designed to be both serviceable and easily identifiable. The cap typically includes a black wool body, a toorie (pom-pom) on the crown, and a black ribbon at the rear. The diced pattern signifies regimental identity and Scottish heritage. Size 7 1/4 corresponds to a head circumference of approximately 58 cm. Items such as this were commonly worn during parades, ceremonial duties, and occasionally in field service, reflecting the distinctive dress traditions of Highland regiments in the British Army.
