To answer the other question... yes, the patch can be taken off without damaging the kilt... simply take it to a dry cleaner with a "tailoring service" (most do) and ask them to take it off. It's a 2 minute process.

Alternatively, get a seam ripper at your local sewing store / kmart / wherever and carefully rip the stitches.

For future refference (and for everyone else here reading)... if you want us to leave it off, just ask! We'll gladly leave the patch off the kilt (it'll save us $1.85 for the patch!).
