Hats, Caps & Bonnets
Claire
Jenny puts a kertch on Claire's head when she helps her dress for Quarter Day (Outlander, chapter 31) While it is just described as a small lace cap in Outlander, a kertch is actually a large (1 square yard) piece of linen which is folded in a triangle and worn like a headscarf
Colum
Colum wears a blue bonnet with plumes held in place by a silver badge for the oath-taking at the Gathering
Jamie
Jamie wears a flat blue velvet bonnet to the oath-taking at the Gathering (Outlander, chapter 9)
Jamie wears a woollen bonnet knitted of rough dun yarn whenever he leaves the cave during the seven years he lives there. Because of this people refer to him as the Dunbonnet (V, chapter 5)
Mayer
Mayer the coin dealer wears a black skullcap with a border of small jet beads (V, chapter 40)
Ned Gowan
When Claire first meets Ned Gowan on the trip through the MacKenzie lands he wears a tricorne of black beaver in Cross Stitch (ch. 11), but a bicorne of blue felt in Outlander (ch. 11). A tricorne is a 3-pointed hat that was popular in the 18th century and most people would associate it with a pirate's hat. A bicorne is a 2-pointed hat like the one worn by Napoleon.
