Box-pleated kilt progress

My baby is now on its way to its owner in St. Pete, FL ...

But I don't live in St Pete! Why on earth would you be sending it there!?

Your aligning capabilities are fantastic. You're the master.

Thanks, Mipi. I try.

Hope it gets there all right, Mein. Let us know what your friend thinks of it.

A beaker for your Scotch??

Congratulations, Mein! Impressive work. I trust you sent to Florida instructions for photos along with the kilt.

Regards,
Rex.

Thank you Rex. The beaker (or we call it a "graduated cylinder" too) seemed more interesting than any shot glass that I could grab at the moment.

I txt-ed him today about sending pictures.

By the way, Mein, I did ask a few questions about cap badges over in the Tartan and Heraldry forum. It looks like the only thing that might cause an issue is if the paw print has a circle or "circlet" around it. There doesn't seem to be any issue with putting the symbol in a buckle and strap like the clan badges have around their crests.

There are on-line stores selling Bear Pride paw jewellery and something like that might work out well on it's own as a cap badge. It does seem like the right thing to put on a bonnet in the case of this tartan.

Cool -- I don't have a bonnet or any Scottish head gear, nor plan on using them (I don't like the way it looks on me). Where else can you use a clan badge?

Um... I don't know...

But a Bear Paw would make a very nice kilt pin I would think.

Now that I think about it, a clan badge can be mounted on some of the metal cantle dress sporrans.
Guess you could get a bear fur, dress sporran too.
