Patches/ Pins/ Other Accouterments

I've collected a number of pins/ patches over the years. I'd like to use them but I don't want to poke holes in all my clothes/ permanently affix patches to jackets I grow out of. What do you do with yours to bring them with you?

    I imagine shoulder poltrons (spelling?) could be made as an interchangeable costume item to carry such extras too.

    They can be added to belt-pouches, even the front of high boots. (Maybe not kinky boots, tho.)
