Tam Hat – Tam O Shanter Hat

The Tam O Shanter Hat is a high-quality Scottish hat made of acrylic wool tartan. It retains its traditional charm and continues to be popular today. The hat features a comfortable and secure fit with an elasticated wool band and a stylish pompom. Originally, the hat was a flat bonnet made of hand-knitted wool, stretched and felted to achieve its distinctive shape. It gained popularity in the 16th century and remained fashionable throughout the 17th century. The modern Tam O Shanter is easily recognizable by the woollen ball or toorie adorning the crown. It is closely associated with Scottish military regiments, along with the Glengarry and Balmoral bonnets. The hat has evolved over time, now available in a wide range of fabrics and colors, including the classic blue bonnet. Women have also embraced a variation of this hat, commonly known as a “tammy” or “hat.” Key features of the Tam O Shanter Hat include its acrylic wool material, Royal Stewart Tartan body, elasticated black rib, vibrant red pompom, and comfortable cotton lining.
