tartan patch for a TOS
If a feller wanted to make a tartan patch to mount on a TOS...and then affix a clan badge or paratrooper wings, etc....what would it look like and how would it be made?
Anyone have a simple pattern or set of instructions or dimensions? I saw one on a WWII re-enactor's TOS but didn't take the time to examine it closely. I think it was square.
Mods, I was conflicted about where to put this...if it needs to move to DIY, so be it...thanks.

I have a Hodden Grey one behind the London Scottish badge in my collection; I'll try to measure it after our Burns Supper on Saturday. It is a just a simple square.

Thanks! Am I correct in assuming that it is actually cut a bit bigger and the edges folded under? Do you have it sewn to your Tam O' Shanter (TOS) on three sides to allow for a sprig to be inserted?
The size is what I was after but the other details are also of interest now that I am about to apply one on my own bonnet.

Not a sprig, but certainly a hackle.

Hmmm...I understood that a sprig of your clan plant (in my case, dogwood) could be put behind the patch, as well...??

Yup.

No, mine is stitched down all 4 sides.
The size is what I was after but the other details are also of interest now that I am about to apply one on my own bonnet.
Hope that helps!
