Jonesing Begins for a Robert Mackie!

David,
It is close to the saxe blue color. However, it is a bit darker. I was sent a few swatches of the colors I was considering (lovat green and saxe blue) This color was included as an option.

The saxe blue is a bit lighter almost a baby blue if you will. The royal blue is a bit darker. This "Regalia" is in between the two. It was discribed to me as a "mid blue" through my correspondence with Mackies and Redshanks.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It may also be the flash on my camera... You know those point and shoot things...

Here is the balmoral after the dunking and shaping phase, now I am in the drying phase. This drying on the head phase seems to be a long process, but it gives me a good excuse to wear the bonnet! (As if I needed an excuse!)

(Getting a back view is proving problematic to do alone with out a tripod.)

I am trying to embrace the lumps and wrinkles as everyone has told me to do. It seems to be a bit harder said than done.

Thank you Chris (Redshanks) for your supreme service! I will be giving you my business in the future for sure! Hopefully, another bonnet and some kilt hose! I will recommend you to all!!! I just wish that all retailers were as attentive to their customers as you are. Truly, your service is a dying trait, but one that will keep you in business for a long time to come!

Looks great, Paul! Beautiful colour, I must say. Good job on the "jocking" as well.

Cheers,
