Thanks for sharing. That’s very interesting

Queen Victorias servant )John Brown) was photographed wearing a jacket with square buttons. I wonder if it’s a trend that became a tradition. Maybe no one wanted to make new styles of buttons....

I was wondering if anyone knows why the buttons on Argyll, Prince Charlie, and other non day jackets are square or lozenge. Is this a civilian Scottish thing? Most of the regiments seem to have round...

House of Tartan will be taking over the manufacture of MacKie bonnets. You might be able to order yourself one in 6-9 months

A very nice sporran. Too bad it’s a child’s size. A bit more than I’d be willing to spend even if it was full sized

i spoke with Greg over at Margaret Morrison and The House of Lahbran. The both are out of stock. It seems that one of the MOD sporrans had the long link chain. The uniform has changed. They no longer...

I’m looking for a vintage Long Link Sporran Chain.

That one looks pretty good. It appears to be out of stock. I’m going to keep my eyes open for a good used one.

Shaun,
Sorry it looks like the commoner version has been removed from their site. It was in the neighbourhood of 60 pounds sterling.
I could not justify spending almost eight hundred pounds on a...

I don't think the quality is the same. The one I had seen didn't have visible welds on the chain from what I remember. I'm far too picky

The old chains are so much nicer than the new style. I’m going to have to purchase a reproduction soon. House of Lahbran seems to have some nice ones. Has anyone purchased one of them?

Thanks gents,
It's nice to have that one cleared up a bit.

I was watching a video from USA Kilts about the origin of the knob atop a metal cantle. Their explanation makes sense though I sense it's missing something of in inaccurate in some manner. I've seen...

Ive never seen photos of pipers wearing medals whilst competing. They’re always wearing them for what looks like a photo shoot. It would be difficult to play with all of those medals between you and...

What the actual mother of Christ is going on with Scottish Power’s pipe bag covers? It looks like they were running short on material and instead of ordering up some more they said to hell with it....

lovely. Thanks so much

That’s too bad that all the bands are playing it safe again.

im not surprised they’re down 75 bands. It’s good to hear that it’s resumed. If I didn’t have to work overtime I would be watching it...

[QUOTE=figheadair;1397927]This week I had an opportunity to attend an event where the dress code was White Tie at which National costume that is the equivalent of White Tie is welcome.

It's not...

I would like to buy a Victorian Era sporran cantle. I'm interested in anything that resembles the photos belowhttp://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=41523&stc=1...

I've been trying to find this tartan so I can buy enough to have a kilt made. I checked online to see if the mills have it but I haven't been successful in tracking it down. I wore it when I was a...
