Tam o' shanter (cap)
A tam o' shanter (in the British military often abbreviated to TOS) is a name given to the traditional Scottish bonnet worn by men. The name derives from Tam o' Shanter, the eponymous hero of the 1790 Robert Burns poem.
==Description==
The tam o' shanter is a bonnet made of wool, originally hand-knitted in one piece, stretched on a wooden disc to give the distinctive flat shape, and subsequently felted.〔p.94 https://oatd.org/oatd/record?record=oai\:etheses.whiterose.ac.uk\:4001〕 These caps were made by bonnet-makers in Scotland, and by the year 1599 five bonnet-makers guilds had formed in cities around the country: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Stirling and Glasgow. At the end of sixteenth century it was said that the Scottish caps were the normal fashion of men and servants, and they remained so throughout the seventeenth century.〔 Similar in form to the various types of flat bonnet common in northwestern Europe during the 16th century, the Scottish bonnet or tam o' shanter is distinguished by the woolen ball or toorie decorating the centre of the crown. The name itself only entered common usage in the early 19th century.〔http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/tam_prop_n〕
Before the introduction of inexpensive chemical dyes in the mid-19th century, the Scottish bonnet was made only in black, brown, or blue cloth, the blue kind dyed with woad or indigo ("blue bonnets").〔 Now it is available in a wide variety of colors, as well as tartan. Women have also adopted a form of this hat known as a “tammy” or “tam”. The original form of the Balmoral bonnet and the Glengarry in Highland dress, the term tam o' shanter is now most commonly used in reference to the headgear of Scottish infantry regiments and some with Scottish affiliations.
