I would agree with Rathdown on this point; wearing a full-size clan badge on a lapel or breast pocket just doesn't look right to me. It's too big for the former and too small for the latter, and in the case of the pocket, it appears to be a copy of a bullion blazer badge, which really should be worn on a blazer/club jacket.

I like the look of a clan badge on a bonnet.
