    Well, I can strike two items of my list

    X-Marks cap badge-

    I was so excited to see these brought back! They're really nice. The only thing I did do was to antique it a bit to help reveal the details.

    Garter ties-

    Just two so far, but I do have my eye on a two colour purple set that is very reminiscent of thistle.


    Bonnet, Ryan Ross and I are working on one right now, I just need to make up my mind on the colour.

    Sgian Dubh, like Drac makes HERE. Again, basic black is hard to beat. I'm not a fan of stones or too much carving, however traditional they may be.

    A really nice pair of hose-

    Tweed day jacket and waistcoat.


    Sporrans- update to my want list. I WANT brass cantles! I'm working with a metal smith friend of mine to see what we can put together (since they rarely turn up on eBay. I actually want to make several, as I'd like a plain leather bag as well as a shaggy horse hair version as well. Not trimmed like a military or piper's sporran, but a shaggy beast.

    For now, my wishlist consists of:
    -a Glengarry,
    -a cap pin (Colquhoun badge would be cool, but not necessary.)
    -a Sgian Dhu, (oh yes. I like bladed weapons, so any outfit that is accepted as including one sounds good to me! )
    -Brogues
    -Prince Charlie jacket
    -Ghillie shirt
    -finishing my Caledonia waistcoat.
    -Oh! And a Jacobean waistcoat, but that's just my historical costuming side trying to get carried away...;)

    My wish list, (order of acquisition is unimportant, but would like to get item # 1 ASAP):
    1. The big winning ticket for the Florida Lottery.
    2. Sgian Brew (just completed making one from a deer antler, (will post pics later).
    3. Charcoal Tweed Argyle jacket and waist coat, (this is would be acceptable as formal wear except for a Black tie or White tie event, (unlikely that I'll ever attend one of these, unless item 1 is acquired, if at all), (got the jacket and waistcoat).
    4. Sgian Dubh, (I am working on the design and completion of this item, should finish this, this year or early next year, blade is damascus supplied by Rab Gordon of Lochness Origins).
    5. Someone opening a Tilted Kilt sports bar franchise within easy driving distance, (me, if I can acquire item # 1).
    6. Enough free time to master playing the GHB pipes, (will largely depend on item # 1 acquisition).
    7. A sterling silver kilt pin, (found a place that has beautiful celtic crosses, (2" - 3" in size) that they will convert into a kilt pin for a very reasonable $5 - $10).
    8. Learn more Gaelic, so I can eventually carry on more than a tourist conversion with someone who is fluent in Scots Gaelic. (you know something more than: hello, how are you, my name is, what is your name, etc., etc.)
    9. More kilts.
    10. Hot red headed Irish and Scottish lasses to hang out with.

    This is just the starter list as I am sure that for each item I cross off the list at least 2 more will be added.

    I think you have to be looking in the mirror for this trick to work
