    The feathers have just arrived. They are tail feathers, and run about four inches or a little more. I intend on cutting them down just a bit so as not to go too far above the upper edge of the hat to be on the safe side. Now having the feathers, I've made the order for a crest badge. Now, its just a waiting game untill I can mount the whole together.

    Um, 4 inches isn't long. In fact 4" is rather short and shouldn't be confused with chief's feathers:

    Ruffed grouse feathers may have never been used this way before. They're not native to Scotland, but very appropriate for use in conjunction with a Pa tartan or cap badge. Ruffed grouse is also a bird that my spaniel and I dedicate a lot of time to each fall, so I'd like to see what you come up with.
