    Sounds like "full branded".

    Surely. Itīs important for many Club-Members to show their identity and membership.

    OK, on Blazer, but youīve never seen it on "typical" Kilt-Jackets?

    In your opinion - would it be blaspheme to wear it there?

    I tried to add an afterthought by iPhone to my post above, but it must have arrived too late for you to see. No matter.

    I do see quite a few Clan badges, but not so many Club badges on kilt jackets -----even tweed kilt jackets-----of visitors and it does look strange to my eyes. Rather unnecessary in fact. The traditional British/Scottish way is to proudly wear a club tie. There are quite a few threads here about the effectiveness of club/university/college/Regimental ties with kilt attire. In passing, we in the UK take a very dim view of people wearing ties that they are not entitled too.

    Jock,
    Clan badges, yes. But I have never seen an embroidered "club/society badge" on a kilt jacket breast pocket.

    I have seen a very few and wish that I hadn't. I can recall a visiting curling club in particular, wearing them. They were very nice chaps from Sweden I think, but "someone" must have decided that everyone must wear exactly the same badged outfit on every occasion.

    Indeed they were, Black Watch tartan as I recall. To be fair they made a fairly good show of wearing their kilts and attire..........apart from those breast pocket badges........and I would not be surprised if some good advice and perhaps a bit of practice on kilt wearing had been obtained before they ventured forth.

    Some, not all members of the Black Watch Veterans Association wear the Regimental Crest as an embroidered badge on their jackets. But most seem to wear, well not trews, but rather tartan trousers with a long "English" blazer.
