The White Cockade.

This is a question firstly for those who wear a White Cockade, but also for those with something to say on the matter in general.

How do you wear it? On Bonnet, Jacket etc.
How did you come to have one? Make it? Receive it? Purchase it?
Why do you wear a White Cockade?
What does wearing a White Cockade mean for you?
What has been the response of people to your wearing it? In SCT, CAN, ENG, US etc.

Some specific questions:

Do you find there is a connection with a contemporary Nationalist movement? Or Movement in the 20th cent?

Historically:
Did the English Jacobites/Non-jurors also wear a white cockade? (Here I realize the clerics and perhaps Gov. administrators were most visible in not swearing the oath.)

Was there a French Tradition of a White Cockade connected with the Jacobite perspective? (I believe there was a tradition of a White Cockade distinct from the Stewart connotation.)

Thank you kindly for you responses. I will also post after a while, when I can get back around.

Peace.
Justin
