Jock is correct - sometimes there is a little bit of excess that is trimmed off the edge. The other offcut can come from making a kilt out of double width cloth. This leaves a long, thin strip that...

If you aren't brand specific there is a beautiful tartan called Angel's Share. https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=11497

Ivor, I have to say, you really do seem to be doing quite a good job of making things up. Pretty much everyone in the photo has done some degree of military service. The one exception is the...

Lance, there are several reenactment groups of the 42nd around. Here is a link to one, they may be able to help you. https://www.42ndrhr.org/index.php

Richard to the rescue. :kd: It was the chap who seems to be throwing a football that I specifically had in mind.
-
Probably not, nor would you! To add to Richard's comments, rank went along with class - and so traditionally, most officers would have their own tailor, whereas ORs got what they got. There are...

Greetings folks. Elsewhere someone asked for pictures from the 2022 Glengarry Highland Games, and so I thought I would share mine. They aren't the greatest, but I was more in tourist mode than...

If I were looking for something like that I would probably go to Robert Macdonald of Westcoast Kilts. He's a former Seaforths officer and does a lot of kilts for them.

Hopefully will see you both tomorrow.

Greetings everyone. The Glengarry Highland Games are back in person this year - Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. Is anyone planning to attend? I have family in town and I think we are...

I was a Chaplain in the Canadian Forces Reserve for a number of years; so you do pick things up. :cool:

You can sometimes spot the officers promenading during the changing of the guard. In this video beginning around the 1 hour mark as the two bands are playing you can just see the two sets of...

The maneuver in question is known as: the promenade. You can tell by that odd little back-and-forth turn that they do at the end of their course. And you are correct, it is done by the officers...

No - the notification said that due to changes in the law, Ebay was now responsible for collection of the HST. Here is the first para of the e-mail:
"Due to legislative changes in Canada’s tax...

Greetings folks, I'm trying to sort out a message I received earlier today, which indicated that beginning July 1st Ebay will begin collecting HST on orders. Has anyone else received this? The...

This is such sad news, Zardoz was a great fellow, and will be missed.

Happy birthday, Steve. I hope you have a chance to dance a little jig :boohoo: and drink a little grog. :toast:

Hi. I have noticed you have posted an aweful lot of questions about highland dress. I think the best advice anyone can give is to go and find a reputable kiltmaker. They will help you sort out a...

The leopard skin is still worn by many bass drummers, especially in military bands. I looked for photos of the current Toronto Police pipes and drums, but you don't see them in Number 1 dress any...

Grizz: Thanks for sharing. That is an amazing piece. A choir I belonged to years ago sang it (with soloist). It truly sent chills up your spine.
Just out of curiosity, what was the venue? It's a...

I have a balmoral doublet that has a pocket in the right hand under-tash.
