Cap Badge (Thistle)

This stunning cap badge is made of antique chrome plated pewter and features the Scottish Thistle symbol. It measures at approximately 1 and 3/4 inches in diameter. It attaches to the hat with a traditional pin-style backing. Made in Scotland. 

One of the most ancient forms of showing your clan affiliation, the cap badge is an ornamental fitting that attaches to a glengarry, balmoral or feather bonnet. It fits onto the ribbon style rosette on the left side of the hat. The badge can also be worn on a plaid or woman's sash as a decorative element to compliment the tartan. Wearing this badge is a great way to proudly show your clan crest or highland military regiment.
