Adding kilt bows/rosettes?

[OC Richard]

Gordon Walker (who I've never heard of until just recently by reading these threads on XMTS...I've never been exposed to the world of piping) is my new role model for what "right" looks like when it comes to kilt wearing! He really does have class.

For those who don't know Gordon Walker, he's one of the world's best pipers.

Here he is!!

He's ex-military and evidently quite proud of it, and often wears bits of his military kit, such as his regimental kilt pin, cap badge, etc.

Now about him wearing his Pipe Major's stripes on a civilian jacket there, I need to point out to US military people that the office of Pipe Major is an office, not a rank. (Army Pipe Majors can be just about any rank. Some Pipe Majors are captains and majors, others are noncommisioned officers. Whatever the man's rank, every pipe major wears the same four chevrons which denote the office.) Therefore, Pipe Major's stripes can quite properly be worn both by ex-military men and by civilians who hold the office of Pipe Major in a civilian pipe band.

I'm probably jumping the gun (I've submitted to be an advertiser and will be up on the board shortly), but we're making rosettes (silk, tartan-whatever). At this point I shouldn't go further, but this will be one of the first things that I'm going to talk about when my sponsorship is official. If I've briken the rules mentioning this, sorry Steve and BEEDEE-Go ahead and pull.-Josh
