As usual, Harold - excellent work! Not just the bonnet, but the picturelog as well.

Awesome! I am definitely trying this one, any recommendations on where to purchase the baret?

Thanks for the instruction and pics!

I don't know how HeathBar found it, but the livery colours are generally the first named metal (i.e., white or yellow) and the first named tincture (other colour) from the blazon of the coat of arms.

It appears that this is the case for the Ferguson chiefly arms.

I have bought several berets from John Helmer - cheap and good quality.
