I've already alluded to this off-list in a private msg to Cera, but I do 
know that modern brasieres (sp.?) are available in plaid ... and I've seen 
any number of shall we say "unusual" patterned fabrics suitable for use in 
creating garments intended to be worn next to the skin!

Hmmm. The thing about badges is that they are intended to be seen. Might 
require some creative exhibitionism to use motley undergarments as an MSoB 
badge...
