Sorry, Morry. But I was hoping for a Photographic critique.
Nonetheless, with your comment, I went on to do some additional research. Although it seems as though 'beret' (of French origin) could be construed as being more specific, and 'tam' (Scottish) somewhat more general, there are arguable differences. A tam typically is woven, often includes a 'toorie' or pom-pom on top, and is variably colored and patterned as to the Scotsman's clan. This gentleman's Basque style felt cap is described both as a beret and a tam in the same sentence by a number of vendors...some even using the neologism: 'tam beret'. Although not all cars are automobiles, I would not take offense if someone referred to my convertible as either.
