I am formally from a Highland Regiment, and there is only one day of the year I can wear the badge I earned and that is when parading with the Old Comrades on the Remembrance Day parade. It is entirely insulting that you would turn a badge that represents generations of those who lost their lives just to make a fashion statement! 
I mean no offense to those Highlanders who served in the Seaforth regiment. I only do so because I have a distant relative who did serve in the regiment in WWI. By wearing the badge, my intent was to honor my kin.
