Creating a cockade

[macwilkin]

I am sure that you could locate directions by doing a Google search, but I understand why you would ask XMTS members-more than likely the best place to ask! There are directions in J. Scotty Thompson's book, "So Your'e Going to Wear the Kilt", for making a cockade in the two main livery colours of one's own clan Chief, which is perfectly acceptable to wear on your Balmoral in lieux of the traditional black cockade of the Hanoverians (the cockades are matching in colour with the body colour of the lovat green, blue, saxe, blue, etc, bonnets). I do know that cajunscot (Todd) wears a homemade cockade in his Chief's livery colours. Perhaps he could post directions? Good luck mate!

Cheers,

As Kyle mentioned, my livery colour cockade on my old black bonnet (about to be retired for a new Mackie bonnet) was taken from the pattern in Thompson.

And Jim: my chief's livery colours are blue and yellow -- garish enough for you?
