    Complaint with USA Kilts

    I don't mind a USAK badge being sewn on the casual and philabeg kilts.
    As a businessman I understand the need to advertise.

    But I am sorry, but I have been compelled to remove the badge from the kilt, reason...it's a little too large!!

    Can you make smaller ones?

    Graham,

    I'm starting to think you may have too much time on your hands.

    Colin,
    With the number of posts that Graham has and seeing this picture, I know that he has way too much time on his hands

    Ah! so this was the project you hinted at

    Was it a straight a swop sign for kilt barter?

    Actually, that one patch is what keeps me from considering a USAKilt. I would buy one in a second if I knew I could get one minus patch.

    Instead of patch, how about a free teeshirt?

    Seriously. I LOVE the Highland Grey tartan. And I love the look of the kilts. But that banana yellow patch makes me wince.

    Rocky, if you read this, you have a customer willing to buy if you can do this.

    WOW Graham! I knew you were working on that, but I am still shocked. Rocky is going to love that!

    Dr.D:

    There's a thing called a seam ripper, or a small knife, or scissors that will easily remove the patch from the apron. They're not applied with epoxy... just a simple straight stitch. Go slow and it's a breeze!

    Don't let a patch deter you from buying a kilt!

    But doing that would be like scribbling a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

    It is good to know they are not epoxied or otherwise permanately fixed.

    Once tried to remove brand label from a pair of pants. Lost whole back pocket.

    Good to know, but, still feel like I would be defacing something. I don't mind ravaging a pair of trousers, but, doing anything to injure a kilt would be a terrible thing indeed.

    You know, there are kilt makers out who won't force you to advertise for them and their kilts are made without any patch.
