Today I went and got a new hat (on sale too) ... I also got a kilt pin (my first real kilt pin other than the free large safety pin I got with my kilt)

The kilt pin is 'Anderson' which was my mother's family name from the southwest coast of Newfoundland. It shows an oak tree and the words 'stand sure'. This is better than the large 'safety pin' I got when I got my kilt.



You can see my other scarves (black and very dark bronze-like stripes) used as leg wrappings and the book laces winding up the calves and tied and then above that tie another lace wrapped a few times around the top of the calf and tied. I kind of like the archaic look and they are quite warm.





I also include pics showing my "belt-bag". I cut this off the front of a back-sack that was getting kind of worn out (used since 2006). This is the small set of pouches on the front of the back-sack and lets me carry everything I need for quick access (water, watch, wallet, change bag, etc). I attached three brass-coloured metal plates to the front to cover where a logo had been (it's a bit crooked so I'll have to reattach soon). It has the belt run through two slots in back and also a long cord (basically a long black boot lace) goes through two loops and around me to keep it from moving around.
