    Like the pipers of The Royal Irish Rangers?





    They would be extremely easy to make: cut the shapes out of green felt and sew them on.

    Well I suppose if you must. But the professionally made ones would be made exactly like homemade ones: cut out of a piece of green felt.

    I myself don't hesitate to take on simple projects like that. I made my own kilt ribbons and drone ribbons for my Black Watch piper's uniform.

    Those shamrocks would be easy peasy. One piece of felt, one pair of scissors, 15 minutes max.

    Sewing them on would take time and care, to have them perfectly aligned, and not get the fabric of the kilt bunched up. But again not rocket science, it would take a half hour or so.

    Simple stuff compared to the 9 different pieces of fabric and felt I had to sew onto each arm of my replica WWII Battle Dress jacket.

    In process



    Finished. You can also see the kilt ribbons I made.

    That's great , but I do not want to sew anything myself.
    It is fairly obvious that cutting out a simple shamrock is a simple task....Again my question was simply where can I buy that kilt, but it's cool to see that you fabricate a lot stuff,maybe you can do it for me since it's so easy lol
