    Thanks guys!!!!

    now, as for the sgain, I am not going to take one at all. I made a "safety" one out of ebony earlier this year its just a solid piece of wood. I have only worn it once and it was for a dance at school. Deputy Doug stopped me and made me pull it out he looked at it and said, "As a wood carver, I think that this looks very nice, and it fits very well with your outfit, however as an officer of the law it also looks like a weapon, as it isn't a weapon and its just decoration I won't take it from you tonight, but in future don't bring it along."
    that was followed by a very prompt thank you. hehehe he has called me to the office almost every time I have a kilt day to see if I have one on me, and to see my kilts, hes a good guy though and I don't want to cause any trouble.


    Now, without further ado I would like to present to you (with much help and many thanks to McMurdo) Casey Ryan:






    question, on the fly plaid, do I pin the broach to my jacket? I haven't but I could.

    thanks! (especially you McMurdo)

    You could alway put a piece of tape on your leg:
    Sgain Go Here with an arrow toward your hose.

    Na it sounds like Office Doug is a good guy and your outfit look great.

    If you have some of the rare earth magnets you could use them instead of pinning your fly plaid. Fold one into the fly plaid at the shoulder and put a small strip of metal inside the jacket. Do the same down where the broach is pinned through the fly plaid. No holes in the jacket, when you dance the broach won't move around and hit your dancing partner.
