Hi Steve,
MINE HAS ARRIVED!
The postman thrust it through my letter-box this morning. It is in perfect order and no duty, taxes or documentation charges were made.
I have to admit that I was not expecting this badge to be of such high quality, all your hard work and preparations not withstanding, and judging by some other Gaelic Themes items I have had over the years, but this is truly an outstanding piece.
THANK YOU.
Take care,
Ham.

Steve,
Thank you again for all the hard work in making this come to fruition. I can now anticipate the possibility of tartan, Wool or P/V in the near future? XMTS neckties, Bagpipe covers, flashes, fly plaid, and of course KILTS.
Oh darn, I feel another jones coming on.
Steve

Don't forget the mouse pads, whiskey glasses, bumper stickers, dog kilts, head bandanas, playing cards, etc. ad nauseum.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
When Hank first decided that we would have some items of X Marks Stuff the thing that was agreed on was that we would only have a few select items. Things that would mean something to our members.
We are not doing this so we can make money. Or so that we start a Tartan Tat store.
These badges, the X Marks Tartan fabric, some embroidered patches and one or two styles of shirt are the only items that we will ever have.
We want the select items to have real significance and also to have a use. We do not plan to be offering the X Marks Crest on anything else.

Of course with X Marks the Scot fabric one can make ties, headbands, vests, and all manner of goodies.
Hmmm so Steve lets talk about a run of XMTS tartan in Poly Viscose...
(and Steve runs screaming from this thread)

Cheers

Har,
How about Silk tartan for all the XMTS ladies?
That would keep him busy.
