I would say that one of the most definitive rules about feathers and highland gear is that a HUGE PINK FEATHER BOA 
is DEFINITELY not something that goes with formal highland attire!

Not wishing to raise any hackles but the Black Watch shop happily sells its hackles for £1.

So what some think should be earned others can buy and seemingly with the blessing of those who earned them.
Let the wearer decide, say I.

One thing that always gets me is the 'medieval re-enactors' and Ren Fair types who wear pheasant feathers in their hats - pheasants weren't introduced into Europe until the late eighteenth century

Considering I'm in Virginia, I wonder if I should pin a tobacco leaf to my hat. This is the state that contains the world-wide headquarters of Phillip-Morris! 
Please, no flame wars about smoking. I'm making a joke at my home-state's expense not trying to advocate smoking.
Hey, here's an idea. We could set a hat on fire and tell people we're wearing a phoenix feather in our bonnet!  .
Sorry, I'm in a very weird mood this morning. I had to be up extra early and I'm still trying to recover.
