Cap named for a farmer in a Burns work (3)

I believe the answer is:

tam

(Other definitions for tam that I've seen before include "Scots hat" , "'Woollen cap of Scottish origin, in short (3)'" , "Scotsman's cap" , "Headgear" , "...-o'-shanter, Scottish cap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
