    Military Kilt Repair, Advice

    Just picked up another military kilt off of eBay for less than $100 with shipping. The only problem is that it had a poor patch job done to it. There is a 2" x 1.5" hole on the left edge of the front apron and the way that someone fixed it is by sewing the back side of the first pleat to where the hole is on the front. Other than the hole, the kilt looks to be in really good shape. I was hoping to locate a repair patch for it from the same tartan. Does anybody have any recommendations on where to start on tracking down a patch? Are there wool mills that the Canadian and UK military primarily deal with when ordering their tartan? I'm pretty sure the tartan is Red MacDuff/McDuff. Any help getting me pointed in the right direction would be appreciated. Here are a few pics:
