Kilt Pin Placement

I would be very careful about removing the logo as the material under it may be a lighter color than that around it. You can test that theory by removing the logo from another piece of clothing and seeing what it looks like underneath. I vote for not having the logo but it would be terrible to end up with a pale outline of the logo where it used to be. Just my thoughts.

The outline would have been caused by fading due to light. The fabric with their logo on it shouldn't be old enough (and exposed to that much light) to have caused fading.

That is a great theory and sounds logical except you don't know how old the fabric actually is. It could have been on the shelf for six months or so. He can make the assumption that there won't be any fading and be rewarded with a clean area or he can be rewarded with the outline of the logo. You place your bets and you take your chances. I'm not sure that's a chance I would take with a kilt I liked.

As the kilts are made up as the orders come in Aren't they? (that is why the delay between the order and the shipping), the age of the fabric should be immaterial. If there is any light fade, it would show up as soon as the bolt was opened, and I am sure Rocky would discard any faded fabric, as it would really show up in the apron!
