    I rec'd my Ryan Ross Bonnet in April in it's original design. Not sure that I'd want a cockade on mine. Just a personal preference. My Robert Mackie Balmoral "Clan Claus" Bonnet has a cockade and I like it that way.

    I do like the new external ribbon drawstring, but I still like the inside drawstring of my R.R. Bonnet.

    The contrasting color band could be popular and really make the bonnet customizable for the individual customer. I like the neutral grey color of my R.R.Bonnet. If I were to choose an additional color for a grey bonnet, I would choose black for the band (and the torrie) so the bonnet could be worn with 4 of my 5 kilts. Not ready to have a bonnet for each kilt.

    I highly recommend the Ryan Ross Bonnet.

    Dr. Ross,
    I like the external drawstring idea. Seems like I've seen it somewhere before.
    Would it make life easier if you set up the order page similar to:
    Step 1. Pick the bonnet color.
    Step 2. Pick the band color.
    Step 3. Pick the optional cockade color.

    and have samples of the colors you're offering?

    I must say, I'm not a fan of the cockade. I'd say leave that to Mackie, and let your bonnets be their own thing.

    I hope you sell a truckload of them.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
