    Here's a cool item I purchased for my US Army kilt. It's a repro of a Civil War era army officer's hat badge. It's black and red wool with gold and silver thread embroidery, and about 3" wide. You can custom order a regimental number (I was an officer in the 2nd BN, 35th Field Arty).



    You can buy such a badge here:

    That is much better than the modern offerings. Thanks for sharing.

    I agree wholeheartedly...now if only I were Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, or Engineer I'd be on that like stink on @#$% (Those are the four basic branches from Civil War times that immediatly come to my mind...there may be more...but I know mine is not among them!).

    Very nice suggestion though, Brian! Thanks for sharing.

    Actually, I think I had more Southern ancestors involved in the War than Northern ones and I agree with Todd that it's history and we're all on (or ought to be on) the same side now. I have the typical Northerner's view of the war and it's causes but it never occurs to me to think ill of Southerners the way some in the South view us Yankees. Of course, since my mother's father was born in Asheville, NC, that's probably natural

    PS - BTW, Brian, I love the patch and noticed way down on the same page there are a couple masonic patches. The oval on might make an interesting kilt pin also. I wonder if they'd embroider a lodge number as well.

    May have to call Fall Creek...

    I recently ordered a black NCO waistbelt with 2 piece buckle from another large, fairly reputable suttler (to wear as a kilt belt). I say recent...it was nearly 2 months ago. They charged my card right away and said they'd get it made up and sent to me. A month later, I emailed back to ask how much longer it was going to be...at which time I received a response saying that they had experienced a delay in a leather shipment, but that they expected it in by the end of the week and would process orders ASAP. That was about 3 weeks ago...still nothing...and no status updates either. I'm not happy with that particular company right now. Maybe Fall creek can get me what I want.

    I had ancestors on both sides, I say it with a good deal of tongue in cheek

    OVM and 28th ARK INF. Besides, I'm in the winning Army now right?

    I have a soft spot for underdog; Confederates, Irish, and the crew of Firefly.
