Thank you for the reference pics. That blue is so dark it looks black. J Higgins still has a few black and white Mackie bonnets in stock and I was tempted to go that route and call it close...

Greetings all,
I am trying to locate a bonnet of Lovat Scouts type in size 7 1/4, or 58cm. I don’t need an original as long as it looks the part, navy blue with navy torie and white and navy dicing...

It’s Lord Howe. He instituted changes to uniforms of the units serving in North America. He shortened coats and generally streamlined the uniforms to better serve the terrain and type of warfare. He...

This kilt is on Etsy right now and I thought some of you might find it interesting. I can’t say for sure if it’s actually military, but the cloth and some of the construction features look right. The...

It was the first year for these games, and while tiny, it was a fun event. There were just 8 clans in attendance, and just a few vendors and a small group of pipers and dancers. Clan Guthrie USA...

The tartan is Leatherneck.

See pic. These were at a consignment shop near my home in Newport, NC, Second Go Round. Alas, not my size at 11 1/2 D. I can’t remember how much. I’m sure not more than $10.00. Already broken in and...

I broke out the Royal Stewart, my Christmas kilt, tonight. My daughter Erin is going to kill me for posting all these pics of her lately, but I want to show her off a bit. I got the sporran from an...

I should have named the tartan and maker for any who were wondering:
Guthrie Modern trews from Scotweb. I am very happy with them. Fit and finish are excellent.

My daughter Erin and I before church this morning. Not a kilt, but I thought some might like it.

The kilt, whether in the form of feilidh mor or feilidh beg is the warmest and coolest garment you can have. All that wool keeps you roasty toasty in winter, but breathes and lets the air flow in...

Is it weird that I recognize Lord Duffus and the young Earl of Breadalbane from their hose and knees alone🤔?

The custom Gov’t sett tartan looks really nice. I love the intensity of the colors. Wilson’s?

Hello all,
For 1750s Highland regimental garters how would the ends have been finished, cut straight and left to fray, turned and stitched, cut at an angle, or swallow tailed like modern flashes?...

I found these in a bin in the craft and sewing section at my local Walmart in Morehead City, NC. These aren’t too bad for simple cockades. I bought a couple of each, black for Hanoverian and white...

I had not and boar as a substitute never occurred to me. Thanks.

Good evening gents,
I’m seeking a patch of black bear fur for a 42nd bonnet ca. 1758. Any of you French and Indian War reenactors have any leads for me? All the vendors I’ve found online that deal...

I always greatly admired Alister Mhor’s Turceach blade. Short of building one out of components where would I ever find such a piece? Sorry for the derailment of the thread.

SOLD. Thanks.

I just remembered this one from ca. 1745. This style hung around for a while.

Hi all. I have a pair of argyle hose in ancient red (orange) and black. They were worn once in about 1999, hand washed and stored in a cedar chest ever since. They are very large, not sure about...

I received my sporran today. It is a quality piece of work. As expected materials and craftsmanship are excellent and the attention to detail is unbelievable. It is quite small, and barely holds my...

Thank you for any contribution you made Luke. I love this style of sporran. Maybe I’ll do a review when I have it in hand. I went looking for one of their hair-on goatskin knapsacks but bit on the...

Greetings all. I just ordered a sporran from an Etsy shop that makes and sells historical leather goods and other items. It’s called West Historic Sales. I thought some of you might find these...

Hi all! Is anyone going to be attending the Games in Laurinburg, NC this Saturday? Also there is a Scottish Heritage Day at the Moore’s Creek National Battlefield in Currie the same day.
