B S G Kilt Jacket?

[Mael Coluim]

A few of us have been posting on the Off Topic category on a thread about the final episodes the TV series on SciFi, Battlestar Galactica. I’ve been watching the series since the beginning. With my recent acquisition of the XMarks tartan kilt I wanted to get a bomber type jacket to go with it.

Thanks to Riverkilt who had leaded me to the Sportsman Guide, I’ve found my jacket that will go with the XMTS kilt and capture the look of BSG. Here it is, a French Navy Security Jacket.



I will be decorating it with a few of these trinkets I found at Interglactical Trading Company. Zardoz's BSG Kilt pin lead to me to google where I may find one. It's here at ITC. Yeah, I ordered one one of those too!






The orders have been placed.

Cool idea. Some friends of mine and I costume as Colonial Marines from the "Aliens" movie and a few of us are doing up kilts as part of the costume this coming year at Dragon*Con.

I have a few friends who are cast of BSG and I'm trying desperately to get one (or more) to grab kilts. Last year I almost managed it; we went to find the UtiliKilt stand at Dragon*Con, but no luck with merchandise. Was hoping for something earlier in the year at San Diego Comic-Con too, but had no luck there either. Maybe this year.

Wow, that's just awesome..

Damn, now my geek flag is showing

[The Barry]

Wow, and here I thought that kilts were what we had in common!

I also love me some BSG!!

[Derek Conley]

Did someone say geek flag?



and...



I loves me some BSG!

(Season 1 prop blaster on the right; Season 2+ prop blaster on the left (both resin); various ship/squadron patches; 1 Pegasus hat, 1 Galactica hat; rank insignia, Major)

Anyways...

The main "blue" uniform worn by the Officers on BSG (Adama, Tigh, etc) would be an interesting one to pair with a kilt, were you wanting to go that direction. It's a short "Ike" styled jacket anyways.

SWEET!!! I want one of those! We're all Cylons you know.

[Derek Conley]

Nighthawk, you may be correct...

[The Barry]

How did you score the resin prop blasters?

[Derek Conley]

They're actually pretty readily available. Mine are both from a guy named Matsuo; his main webpage may not be working (www.matsucorp.com) but this one seems up and running. He makes great stuff. You can also do Ebay searches for them also; they probably won't be Matsuo items (and if they are, they may be pricey) but there are a few companies doing some decent items.

That's so cool..

I might need to figure out a way to get a BSG sgian dubh made..

I wonder how that would look?
