    My new kilt pin

    Rudi of Celtic Empire has these silver tara brooches on his site for $185.00.
    I've been coveting one for a long time.

    You should see this thing on my black kilt! It is the perfect weight and a real beauty!

    The Pin is after my fancy, too.
    I am what I am. I can't help it if people think something else.

    Looks really beatiful. As it is so expensive does it fasten securely. I've lost a cheaper one.

    Now I use both hot glue and a rubberband to hold it in place..(the pin that is)........Oh! behave....

    I personally got a look at this Kilt pin the other day whilst picking up my new Kilt(finally) . It is a very nice looking Kilt pin with a little bit of size to it as well. If I had the money to spend on one I probably would.

    I'll take some pics to show how this thing fastens. I can't see it coming loose.

    A day later and I'm still fascinated with the thing! I love the mechanical simplicity as to how it stays on. Ingenious. though hardly a new idea.
    I guess I'd better sell them on my site. I'll see if I can get the price down but no promises until I speak to Rudi.

    I keep drooling over the thing, it would be mighty fine looking on any kilt.

    Here's how the thing works. Cool in its simplicity.
    (I still can't take a decent photo.)

    First, push the pin through about 1/2" of fabric. I find an angle works better than straight down.


    Then fold the torc over the pin. The pin is kept on the torc with a ring on the back of the pin head.


    Then pass the torc under the ring. The knobs on the end of the torc and its weight keep it there.
