Risking Patches

[Riverkilt]

I thought about pins Jimmy, but most of mine have the straigh pin back with the catch thing...pokes right at me. Do have some parallel pin stuff I might try.

Adam, you hit the same thing. I have two 45th Infantry patches (yellow thunderbird on red diamond background) that I wanted to put on my basil survival pockets to honor my uncle Don who slogged across France and Germany in War 2 with a tommy gun. He got shot up but always went back on the line and was in the first company into Dachau.

Anyway, keep thinking putting one unit patch on each pocket would look wrong. As if the kilt is supposed to be a replica of a shirt, or mimic a shirt. Option was to get some sergeant's stripes or find a 147th patch.

Funny how these little things slip in.

For the local small town parade and 4th of July gig in the park today I wore my black UK workman's with my father's squadron and group patches on the pockets and a black t shirt with the 45th Infantry logo. That way could honor both men.

I have a big New England Patriot logo patch (the Flying Elvis) on the front apron of my PK. Jeff made me a special two tone Navy and Silver kilt about 1 superbowl ago. Good sport that Jeff. I think it unusual that 2 fans from rival teams would get along so well.

Go Pats!

I must admit this idea is very intriguing, even tho' I do not on a solid-colour kilt -- but, I have been collecting patches for a number of years, and I recently have been adding some to my knapsack to diplay family heritage and travels -- the Arizona flag, the Saltire, hopefully I will pick up an Iowa flag patch in August.

I say go for it! :mrgreen:

Cheers,
