Kilt pins: Are you thinking of forgetting them?

Following Hamish's philosophy each new kilt gets a pin, now the standard issue. Can't beat the $1.29 cost! Click here.

The only kilt pin I own is worn on my leather jacket. I don't wear kilt pins on my kilts, I don't want to snag it on something. I might start wearing one with my lighter kilts, but I doubt that I'll ever wear one with my tank.

I, too follow Hamish's philosophy, and thanks to Mael Coluim, bought some blanket pins at a local farm store for less than a $1.

I like my pins! Though every one of my pins cost 30 +! I wonder does anyone have any tearing in they're kilts due to pins weight? Should I remove my pin when hanging the kilt in the closet? Just an afterthought!

I also have a kilt pin for each of my kilts, with the exception of my UK.

I like kilt pins. I do think they hold the front apron down, at least in ordinary wind. I'm used to the weight there. They are traditional (if only since Queen Victoria--but that's still a century of tradition). It is fun to switch around w/ different styles and symbols. I have my clan crests on both sides, a wheel cross and a Navajo Indian silver & Turquoise pin. I don't think anyone is forcing me to wear a pin...just something that I like to wear with my kilt.

I wear the kilt pin mostly as a piece of flash, male jewelry, usually matched to some other items in my kit. But I often forget it---maybe once every 5 or 6 time I am out kilted---and am not particularly bothered by it. Same with the sgian dhub.

As Gomer Pyle said "forgetful, forgetful, forgetful."
