Notes:
Based on the Maxwell sett (white line replaces green) which in turn comes from the Vestiarium Scoticum (1842). Details of the Clan Society's design came from Rhys A Pollock in America. J.C. Thomson of Arlington is thought to have had a large hand in the design. Pollocks were feudal dependents of the Maxwells who lived in the Scottish Lowlands. Based on Maxwell hunting -- with white line replacing green. See also: Maxton. Samples in STA Dalgety Collection. Lochcarron swatch in archives.
Traditional Scots cap, the Glengarry bonnet, is used as part of Scottish military or civilian highland dress. Can be used either formal or informal, or an alternative to the Balmoral bonnet or tam o' shanter. Zoa marries this traditional cap with the Pollock tartan paying specific attention to the details.
- TRY BEFORE YOU BUY OR GIFT! Most hairstyles will clip through this cap. That is an issue with the mesh which I cannot adjust.
- Brushed wool and satin material
- Satin cockade pinned with a silver Scottish thistle, the symbol of Scotland
- Trim and tassle made of the Pollock tartan
- Pollock baddge pinning the rear tassle
As always, try before you buy. If you are gifting, you can also try a product and it is strongly encouraged that you do so. You have to open each individual item to try it on.
Other tartan patterns can be requested at my group.
