Some assembly allowed...Sport Kilt

[fluter]

I left out the other two bits which I enjoyed doing for a friend's annual Bastille Day party.

The cockade on the little beret is not the Jacobite one, but a "Union cockade" circa 1780. The US folks continued to use a black cockade as they had before 1776. When France came in on our side, a white French cockade was added on top of the black one. Too bad it's invisible on the blue beret...

Then I was wishing that I had a kilt pin in the form of a fleur de lis. Well like many a guy my age, I have a box full of Boy Scout memorabilia. No pins in sight, but I applied some sticky velcro to a commemorative medallion, tacked the other side to my apron, and lo! I had a fleur de lis.
