Taking the form of the brimless, bonnet cap that began to be worn throughout north western Europe during the 15th century, the 'Tam O'Shanter' is usually made of wool and has a toorie (pom-pom) in the centre. This distinguishes it from other folk bonnets such as the beret, for instance. Although brimless, the tam has an external hatband which passes around the head's circumference.
