    Post A badge for those defiant folk

    i saw these on ebay while searching through some items and thought this badge would perhaps be a good motto for some folk ,especially times when life gets hectic

    Ah yes was on my first waist plate as I have no clan (and no clan wants me ). Here's the blurb*.

    Those badges are made by Gaelic Themes in Glasgow.

    I carry them in my shop and they work as a Cap Badge or as the clan crest on a Kilt Belt buckle or Sporran.

    If fact it was one of those that I cut apart to create the X Marks Clan Crest Cap Badge.

    If you don't want to hassle with EBay send me an email. $24.00cdn.

    How would you like one of those badges on this Sgain?

    What a fun "clan" badge. Steve, I think that badge would be a fun addition to the Officer's Sgain. I really like the Officer's model that I have.

    In the beginning when I made solid colored Kilt almost exclusively I was looking for a symbol that was generic and not "Clan" symbolic. I found this one and sort of latched onto it as it is one of my favorite sayings.

    The Officer's Sgain sells out of my shop for $168.00cdn and can be ordered with over 200 Scottish and 60 Irish crests. I have the list so if you would like email, Skype, or call me.

    Steve,

    Are you saying that you can get the above-listed motto too? (I.e. the fake Latin)?

    BTW, I wonder if it would be possible to get a custom one made up using the more correct motto (in actual Latin instead of Dog Latin): Noli nothis permittere te terere.
