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.
