10th Mt Div Veteran

Just discovered this thread. USA Kilts and Sport Kilts sew logo patches on their kilts where a pin normally goes, so there is that precedent.

I'Ve never had a desire to sew things on a kilt, however Iif I did it would probably be large regimental crest cloth patches and not a division patch. I found mine on ebay. These patches aren't actual military items. My Second Infantry combat patch is probably too big, it would overpower the kilt. Perhaps a Follow Me patch would be suitable as it is fairly low key and in a kilt-ish color.

Current regulation doesn't allow a mix or match option, it's either one or the other. Forty five or fifty years ago you could walk into any university student union building and see a whole bunch of guys in their as-issued field jackets complete with patches, even though regs clearly forbade it.

Wearing a no longer current item on a kilt might be more acceptable. Placing modern Infantry crossed 1975 musket insignia might draw a stickler's ire, but using Spanish-American war era crossed Krag rifles might pass muster.

It's up to the individual to decide what military ornaments to wear with a kilt -- until he encounters a really picky Seargeant Major. The armed forces can still come down hard on former members in some situations.
