79th Glengarries-Help from any reenactors
Hi All-
One thing that is blatantly missing from my store line up is head-gear. One thing that I will not do is sell Pakistani tat, which is where most the glens and balmorals come from. Robert Mackie was really the only choice, but Chris at Dunnad (As well as Labhran and some others) seems to be handling that nicely, so there wasn't a real need to saturate the market with another distributer for them.
So I decided that what would be really nice, unique, and sentimentally American would be to have manufactured a replica of the 79ths 2 banded R/W/B diced glengarry. Something truly unique (That fits my company's persona), and something that is something that is authentically American, but in relation to Highland wear.
i did contact Robert Mackie and had Linda explore this idea, but it has just come back that to arrange for that style of dicing would be too costly and hard (Their machines are designed for the traditional diced. So without a ridiculously expensive investment (And I mean ridiculous), its just not possible. Now, I've seen some pics of reenactors, and a pic of OCRichard wearing the authentic style replica. Can anyone chime in and let me know who is making them? I think this would be a great tribute, as well as being something uniquely American/Scots themed. Any help appreciated-Josh
