Anyone else out there risking "decorating" their solid kilts?

Kate, over on the UK board is an advocate. I finally decided what the heck.

My caramel UK Workman's now has a Scottish flag patch on the right pocket and a Navajo Nation seal on the left pocket. Seems fitting since the caramel color is a perfect match for the sandstone here in Rez country.

My black UK workman's now has my father's War 2 fighter squadron patch on the left pocket (346th FS - a skull with two cobras for the P-39 Airacobras they flew) and his War 2 fighter group (the 350th FG) on the right pocket.

I purchased a hippie sun and moon patch for my denim UK but haven't ironed it on. Had a rainbow colored patch with the word peace on it but my lady took it for something of hers.

What I like about adding patches to my UK's is that it takes them out of the realm of plain solid kilts...sort of like decorating jeans.

What I don't like about adding patches is that I get this feeling that it might limit when and where I wear it. Like the black UK looks good plain too...but now it has patches.

Also have Arizona state flag patches on my Pittsburgh Kilt Arizona Flag tri color, one on the hip pocket flap and one where a kilt pin would go...but that fits with the presentation and helps identify the kilt for what it is.

I have other ideas for patches for other solid contemporary kilts, but have been going slow. The old adage, "You can measure a thousand times, but you can only cut once" comes to mind. Guess I could remove the patches after ironing them on, but suspect there'd be an adhesive residue.

Patches fit with who I am. I've tattooed my body and have stickers on my truck...guess its slopping over to kilts too.

Anyone else experimenting with individualizing their plain kilts?
