Description

Black Watch

The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada is a reserve infantry regiment in 34 Canadian Brigade Group, 2nd Canadian Division, of the Canadian Army.

Volunteers have served since the regiment's inception in Montreal on 31 January 1862, as the 5th Battalion, Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada. The rise of American military strength during their Civil War concerned Canada. The government authorized formation of militia regiments. Each of six Montreal Scottish chieftains responded by raising an infantry company for the 5th Battalion. Eventually, eight companies were raised.

Since then, thousands of Canadian citizens have served in the Black Watch. In addition to service during the Fenian raids, they have fought in the First and Second World Wars; bolstered NATO operations in Europe and UN peacekeeping worldwide; and helped their fellow Canadians at home during the 1998 Ice Storm (Operation ASSISTANCE) and 2011, 2017, and 2019 flooding in Quebec (Operation LENTUS).

The fit of the Great Scot Ladies jackets and waistcoats are form-fitting, - as one would expect from highly structured and tailored garments. Generally, we advise that if your bust cup-size is more than B, we recommend selecting the next size up.

For Great Scot Gentswear, bear in mind that the Regency Waistcoat is double-breasted, meaning that it is designed to be worn fully fastened. It has a back belt that can reduce the waist measurement by 1" to 2".

Hat Sizing

Do you know your hat size? It's easy to find out!

Just place a string or measuring tape around your head, just above your ear.
Now run the tape around the middle of your forehead -completely circling your head.
Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly.
Measure your head (in cm's) exactly where the hat will sit.

If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next size up.
