Kilt Pin Placement

[Dr Mac]

It's your call, of course. As one who tends toward the kilt pin, I would discreetly lose the badge. But, again, that's my "take" on it.

Personally (and i don't yet speak from experience as I only have one USAK semi trad) I think the patches in the pictures look pretty good. As to the pin, I have seen them worn all over the edge of the apron, so I doubt anyone would notice if you simply wore the pin beside the patch, or above it, or diagonal to it. I personally have given some thought to the matter, as I plan to get a USAK casual or three or four, myself. So those are the solutions I have come up with- use the pin in conjunction with the patch!

While I like the patch, I really want to use the kilt pin I have. It's one with St. Andrew and his Cross. I think that it really makes a tie-in with the Clark name, and the origins of the family with it's association with the church.

I think I'm going to try and very carefully remove the patch, and save it, maybe place it on a polo or something, because I do like the patch, and that way I can wear the pin on the kilt, and the patch on a shirt.

Think I'll wait til tomorrow to try and remove the patch though, steadier hands and all that

That's exactly the pin I got for my clergy tartan! In fact, I got it from Rocky at a Celtic event. In my case, there is the further association of the Cross of St. Andrew being part of the coat-of-arms of the Archdiocese of New York (formed by a windmill).

I have had one question in the matter of placement myself. (Hope this isn't hijacking the thread.) I saw an old British TV show from the 1960's which was about a Scottish regiment. The actors all had their pins waaay up and over, maybe right over the middle of the thigh.

Is that a military way of doing that? I would think that a British show would have had lots of comments were they to have gotten it wrong.

Mine too. Any advertising should be on the inside of the kilt.
