Re: A feather in your cap.
A feather in your cap is some occurrence or accomplishment which distinguishes you. Imagine 100 people all wearing the exact same hat ( or cap) and one person in the group has a brightly colored feather protruding from his hat. Your attention is more likely to be drawn to him/her. So, a perfect score on a test, a job well done, receipt of some high honor etc is therefore your "feather".

I think that American Indians use a white feather tied to a warior's head band as a sign of challenge for their enemies, am I right or off topic?
