Piper's Bonnet Case ideas?
Hello All,
Hope everyone is well. A request for a few ideas. I bought a brand new 5 tail military spec feather bonnet. They look fantastic. However I'm having difficulty getting a case. At present I am using a brand new plastic waste paper bin as its the closest I could get to the bonnets size. But looks very unprofessional. Any place I could buy a good lightweight carry case? Thank you to everyone... |

Re: Piper's Bonnet Case ideas?
Ah, majorvonhapen, I haven't the foggiest as to whether any liquids come in 5 gallon plastic buckets... in Ireland... but for any feather bonnets... that is the best thing... over here. They are sturdy, weigh damned little... and are cheap. They also last... forever... :) and I'm still using one that I have had some 30-odd years... and airlines have yet to even make a dent in it.... or ruffle a bonnet. :) See if you can find an equivalent there... and if you can... I would hazard that you shall be... well pleased with it!! And if you... for some reason... can't... then send one of us a shout... and by hook or crook... someone here will send one over to you. (Gotta stick together!! :) Good Luck with it!! Regards, Pip01

Re: Piper's Bonnet Case ideas?
In metric, the closest equivalent would be a 20 litre bucket.

el gaitero, Not... per se... but as these containers do now come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes... and I have seen many that are wider and shorter than the standard 5 gallon ones... it shouldn't be too difficult to discover and acquire one. Wishing you... the best of Good Fortune with it!! Pip01

I'm in Ireland and I keep mine in the sturdy box it came in. It has worked for about ten years now.
