    X Marks the Scot Polo Shirt

    A run of XMTS T-Shirts is in the works and I look forward to ordering one. However I really was interested in either an XMTS polo shirt or rugby shirt.

    So I decided to make one!

    I took the small sized XMTS patch that Steve offers here:

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/x...921/index.html

    A trip down to Target yielded a simple tan polo shirt on their Clearance Rack for $4.00.

    About 20 minutes of sewing time (and several pricked fingers later) I had this:



    What do you think?

    Cheers

    There it is, the XMarks uniform! All you need now is the special "Mod Stripes" to signify your rank. I like it, and good job!

    No, no, no.... That is not the xmarks uniform... The pith helmet is suspiciously missing. What is needed is the xmarks clan badge on the front of that helmet to make it perfect.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    That looks great Jamie!
    Well done on the shirt.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    I would prefer the logo to be a bit bigger on the shirt, but you did a great job. Thanks for the extra effort.

    And

    I like it Jamie. (I think a rugby shirt would be great too.)

    Best regards
