Plural of glengarry; soft woolen caps, typically with a crease down the center, traditionally worn in Scotland.
From Glengarry, a valley in the Scottish Highlands. The cap became named after the region where it was popularized, following the common pattern of naming traditional dress after their places of origin.
Scottish soldiers famously wore glengarries into battle, and the crease down the middle isn't just for looks—it was designed to help shed rain and keep the cap from flopping over your eyes!
