    Richard, I would venture to say that those rosettes aren't made out of ribbon, but of the exact same material that the kilt is made of. That's what I intend to do when I make mine...perhaps stiffen it a bit with some iron-on interfacing...I'll have to experiment...it may be a bit difficult with 18oz fabric...but I think 13oz would be superb for the purpose.

    I just watched that youtube video...and a bunch of others of Gordon...HOLY COW!!!
