Riverkilt - Irish Caubeen?

[macwilkin]

Does one traditionally put a badge on the rosette of a caubeen or leave it plain?

Cheers

Following the custom of the Irish regiments of the British Army, a regimental badge is worn on the caubeen:

Civilians certainly could wear a badge as well; I've seen the relatively new "Irish clan badges" available being worn on caubeens.

Cheers,
