With the proliferation of Hudson Bay tartan (Thanks for the introduction Steve), I did a quick search on ebay for related HBC stuffs:

A posible beaver pelt sporran:

Some coins, possible kilt pins (1" = 25.4mm or 2.54cm)

For all the budding igloo builders a snow knife for cutting out your own snow blocks. Could be used as a sgian dubh but probably better as a dirk:

Thanks Grant - I've been looking for and still hope to find just the perfect kilt pin for my HBC kilt. I'm thinking of a silver beaver.

The next time I'm at a Bay store I'll look around and see if anything tickles my fancy.

I'm _very_ fond of the beaver pelt sporran possibility....

Grant, thanks for the post. As I have mentioned before, I do research on the "Bay Co" (Fur Trade era ) & my "persona" is a HBC trader. Those trade coins were good & the right $$$

That is a "modern" version of a CAPOTE. There are dif. styles. (incl. a shorter version) NOTE - suggest the grey HBC blanket to match the HBC taran.
Here is mine made from a "4pt HBC Blanket"

as to "beaver sporrans" here are 2 I made
The right hand one has a "modern HBC pin "dropped"on it.( 1 1/2" dia.)
The left hand one has a Red Fox Tail added.

If you wish more info on were to get items like this, or how to make them, contact me.

BTW - I am saving up to get a "HBC tartan Kilt"

I've got an old Hudson Bay point jacket that I found in an antique store in Maine...



Haven't tried to wear it with my kilt but I don't predict good things style-wise.

You guys are a hoot - but everything listed would go with the kilt not for the kilt!!!

But the point coat would be the kicker. Could you really picture that cut down to a kilt jacket. I even went so far as to price the pint blankets............. oh well.

An HBC 20 point coin with a rare-earth magnet epoxied on would make a cool kilt pin. And JRB you are one lucky dude.
