Scotty wore one in an episode of TOS with his dress uniform.

Yep, as part of his formal dress uniform. I was thinking about making a TOS dress uniform tunic but didn't have time.

Looking good, Lieutenant Commander!
Honestly, I prefer the tartan you wore over the black and white Scott that Scotty wore. I hope to see a Trill or a Cardassian by the end of the new trilogy...or (even better) some Denobulans. I think they need screentime outside of "Enterprise."

Thanks!

I'm a TOS fan at heart but do enjoy all of it. Any Star Trek is better than no Trek at all!
I have to admit I just couldn't get into Enterprise. Strayed too far from the canon for my taste.

Saw the first reboot, cannot wait to see the second movie!

Just my luck that MacQueen goes well with Engineering/Security red. I wish Scotty had worn a kilt when he played the pipes at Spock's funeral. That would have been totally awesome.

WOW! That's cool... And magnetic!

I had a lot of requests for photographs. One guy told me his wife would kill him if he didn't bring her a pic.

I like your tweed sporran too. Great work.

Thanks. I think it turned out well too. :-)

It has a couple of issues I want to fix in the next version. The plastic canvas I used to stiffen the panels is too hard to sew. Kept hitting plastic instead of the grid spaces. I want to replace the duck canvas gusset with leather. And the alignment between the front and back panels is a bit off. Not enough to notice unless you are closing it. I should have sewn it on with two needles, starting at the bottom and working toward the top at the same time. That might have prevented it from skewing while sewing.

I'm also thinking about separating the flap section from the back panel and snapping it on so I can swap flaps. Would have been cool to have a Star Trek emblem on the flap instead of a antique button.

I see you adopted the Rob Roy style closure and grommets after all. Seems to have turned out well. Isn't it amazing—as soon as you finish one project you see where you could improve on the next?
