    Yep! Alexis Malcolm has done well by me. I am a retired USAF officer. I have ordered a number of things from Alexis - some of them were custom fabricated. She is a gem!

    Here's a cool item I purchased for my US Army kilt. It's a repro of a Civil War era army officer's hat badge. It's black and red wool with gold and silver thread embroidery, and about 3" wide. You can custom order a regimental number (I was an officer in the 2nd BN, 35th Field Arty).



    You can buy such a badge here:

    I agree wholeheartedly...now if only I were Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, or Engineer I'd be on that like stink on @#$% (Those are the four basic branches from Civil War times that immediatly come to my mind...there may be more...but I know mine is not among them!).

    Very nice suggestion though, Brian! Thanks for sharing.
