    Rosettes & toori?

    Are there any places to buy just rosettes, toori, hackles and cockades? I presently own one of these and would like to spruce it up.

    Scroll down on this page and you'll find cockades in both rectangular and rosette shape:

    The appendices in Charles Thompson's book "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt" show how to make toories , cockades, and other such items. It's pretty easy, especially the toories. If you don't have the book it's a good reference to get.

    With the addition of a toorie (that ball/pom-pom on top) and a cockade and badge to the left temple, even a lowly cheap-store beret can become a passable balmoral. Add a coordinating headband (1.5-1.75 inches) and it becomes even closer.

    I'd second the recommendation to Thompson's book. I intentional refused to get it for years, but I regreted that decision after I got it. The appendices are well worth the book. I use them ALL THE TIME!!!!

    Now, I make the toories and cockades for all my own balmorals/tams. I can do them in normal black or red, navy, or livery colors.

    It also has a section on conversion of a jacket.
