Canadian North Nova Scotia Regiment Khaki Balmoral 58cm

The Canadian North Nova Scotia Regiment Khaki Balmoral (58cm) is a traditional Scottish military headdress associated with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders, a unit of the Canadian Army. The Balmoral bonnet is crafted from khaki-colored wool and includes a coordinating wool band along the base. It features a black ribbon tail at the rear and a matching khaki toorie (pom-pom) on top. This style of headdress was commonly worn by members of Canadian Highland regiments during the First and Second World Wars, serving as a distinctive element of their parade and field uniforms. The hat size is approximately 58cm, corresponding to a medium adult head size. The Balmoral’s design reflects both Scottish heritage and Canadian military tradition, with insignia and badges typically affixed according to unit regulations, though these are not included unless specified. This item represents a component of standard-issue dress for Highland units within the Canadian Army during the twentieth century.
