A soft woolen cap, typically blue or dark-colored, with a crease down the center and ribbons hanging at the back, traditionally worn in the Scottish Highlands.
Named after Glengarry, a valley in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The cap was popularized in this region during the 19th century as part of Highland dress.
The glengarry cap has become so iconic that many people think it's ancient Highland tradition, but it actually became popular during the 1800s—younger than the American flag!
