Feathers?

[macwilkin]

The feathers that the clan chiefs wear are rather tall eagle feathers. When you see a clan chief wearing his feather (or feathers) you know it! I think if one wanted to decorate his cap with a feather, it shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't wear anythig that might reasonably be confused with the eagle feathers of a chief. For instance, the feather hackles that have been previously mentioned. If you wanted to wear a peacock feather (a bit over the top, but let's say you wanted to...), I don't think anyone would reasonably confuse it with a cheif's eagle feather. If you wanted to wear a white plume of some kind, just so long as it didn't look eaglish (is that a word?) I'd say go for it...

And to further Matt's comments, the article from the Lyon Court's web site does have illustrations of said feathers that are worn by Chiefs, armigers, etc.

Looking at the images of the feathers at the Lord Lyon's site I notice they are all worn completely vertical and very neat. A large plume arching downward would look nothing like that...hmmmmmm interesting.

All I can think of is Robin Hood in the movie Time Bandits. He had that ridiculously long feather in his hat.
